Conditions at Assinie in February
February: Still Good, But the Onshore Winds Begin to Breathe
February keeps the average swell height at a tidy 3ft (0.9m) and the average period at 10.8s, with S and SSW swell making up 100% of the wave energy. The direction split is a touch more SSW-heavy than January, with 70.9% S and 29.1% SSW, and a slightly larger percentage sits in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, meaning the best swell pulses carry more push. The problem is that ideal wind windows fall to just 3%. SW wind jumps to 40.1% of the observations, with 16.5% of that blowing 10-20kph, so choppy, grooming-challenged conditions become more frequent.
Still, this is a fair month. The air temperature is 27.6°C, water temperature is 27.7°C and rainfall remains moderate at 2.13mm/day. Early mornings can deliver workable offshore conditions from the NNE/NE quadrant before the sea breeze kicks in, and with the swell period holding near 11s, the fall from clean to messy can happen fast.
