Conditions at El Chinchorro in February
February: Still Firing On Trade Wind Pulse
February is nearly a carbon copy of January, with average wave height again 1.2m (4ft) and average period 6.5s. The ESE swell lobe is even broader at 44.4%, while E adds another 26.6%; combined, these two directions account for over 70% of the wave energy. The S/SSW/SW window remains mostly barren with just 0.5%, so any longer-period southern hemisphere swell is a rare bonus. Wind remains favourable: NNW clocks in at 32.7%, with NNE and NE each near 10-12%, keeping the surface relatively groomed. Ideal surf wind occurs 63% of the time. Expect similar fun-sized, short-period surf - waist-to-chest high on average, with occasional bigger sets when the trades pump. Water temperature cools slightly to 26.4°C, air temperature hovers around 24.9°C, and rainfall stays low at 0.74 mm/day.
