Conditions at Sosua in February
February: Consistent Heights, A Tighter Wind Window
February continues the winter theme, with average swell height holding at 5ft (1.6m) and period easing only slightly to 9.3s. The N/NNE/NNW quadrant once again supplies roughly 20% of the wave energy, while ENE (39%) and NE (22%) keep the background trade swell humming. The key difference is wind: only 29% of observations are officially ideal, the lowest of the winter, so true S/SW offshore windows are more fleeting. Expect E/ESE trade winds at 10-30kph for much of the day, keeping conditions rippable but a little bumpy. When an Atlantic cold front stalls offshore, periods can stretch into the long-period range and produce solid 4-7ft (1.2-2.1m) sets. With water at 26.0°C and dry weather at just 1.1mm/day, February remains a prime winter pick.
