Conditions at Playa Bahoruco in February
February: The Statistical Peak, Still Onshore
February is statistically the biggest month of the year, with an average swell height of 1.1m (3.6ft) and an average period of 6.8s. The swell remains incredibly focused: 69.9% from ESE and 22.2% from E. Nearly half of all waves (46%) are in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class, so there is more solid, rippable surf than any other month. The frustrating part is the wind. Ideal offshore wind is just 9% of the time, the lowest of the winter, because the Azores High keeps the E-ESE trades locked in - the ENE through SE quadrant accounts for roughly 76% of all observations. A cold front passage remains the golden ticket, swinging winds to W/WNW and grooming those short-period peaks into clean little waves. Water temp has eased to 26.4°C, air temp is 23.6°C, and precipitation is very low at 0.63 mm/day.
