February remains locked into the winter pattern. Average height is 3.5ft (1.0m) with a 5.9s average period, and ideal wind arrives 34 percent of the time. The E sector totals 12.6 percent of the swell and ENE adds 8.2 percent, meaning the good directions still carry plenty of punch. WSW is actually the largest swell direction at 16.6 percent, but for Galiote the NE-E groundswell is far more valuable. WNW wind continues to dominate the offshore flow at 16.7 percent, with W (13.2 percent) and NW (11.7 percent) also in the mix. When the E/ENE swell coincides with one of those west-based offshore windows, conditions are fast and lined-up. Water temperature drops to 13.4°C while air averages 8.1°C.
