Conditions at Caldera in February
February: Trade-Wind Glass, Micro Groundswell
February is more of the same but with a slightly longer average period of 11.8s and an average swell height of around 1ft (0.3m). SSW still owns the swell window at 45.8%, with S adding 13.8%, but just about every wave is in the sub-2ft (0.6m) range; only 1% of the total distribution reaches the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) category. The wind field is even more offshore-oriented, with NNE/NE/ENE/E summing to about 60%, though again mostly light. This sets up clean, glassy mornings before the sea breeze kicks in. It is one of the driest months of the year with just 0.25mm/day of precipitation, air temperatures around 27.9°C, and water temperature holding at 28.3°C. Expect small, clean, longboard-friendly conditions rather than any real punch.
