Conditions at Zonte in February
February: Longer Periods, Sharper Lines
February keeps the dry-season formula but starts to add more 3-5ft (1-1.5m) swell. The average height remains 3ft (1.0m), yet the period edges up to 12.8 seconds, giving each wave more push. SSW remains the dominant generator at 55.2%, with S at 27.6% and SW at 8.4%; the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) bucket now accounts for roughly 42% of the total, up from January. The distribution suggests a slightly more powerful south pulse sliding into Zonte's south-facing exposure.
Offshore winds remain excellent at 62% ideal, with NNE again leading at 20.8%, backed by NNW (11.1%), NW (10.9%), and NE (10.2%). Air temp averages 27.0°C, water temp 27.9°C, and rainfall is negligible at 0.14 mm/day. This is a great month for groomed, rippable waves with glassy morning sessions and long open-face turns.
