Conditions at San Blas in February
February: Longer Periods, Slightly Fuller Lines
February nudges the average wave period up to 12.8s, and the SSW/S combination grows a little more confident. The average height remains 3ft (1.0m), but now SSW has a healthier split: 27.8% at 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 26.8% at 3-5ft (1-1.5m), while S swell adds another 10.9% in the 3-5ft range. All told, 92.3% of the swell energy comes from the favorable S/SSW/SW/WSW window, meaning San Blas' SSW-facing beach is almost always working.
The wind story is still favorable, though slightly less pristine than January. Ideal surfing wind holds at 56%, with NNE (24.9%) again the workhorse direction, plus a solid 6.8% from N. The S/SSW onshore combinations tick up to about 13.9%, so expect a few more bumpy afternoons. Dry-season comfort remains: air temperatures average 27.0°C, water temps sit at 27.9°C, and precipitation is negligible at 0.14mm/day. Bring a board you can push through a bit of texture, and choose the incoming tide for the best shape.
