Conditions at Acapulco in February
February: Long-Period SSW Pulse on a Southern Hue
February keeps the winter pattern locked in. The average swell height is again 3ft (0.9m), but the period climbs to 13.4s, giving the SSW/SW swell plenty of energy. Directionally, the window narrows even more: SSW accounts for 53.1% of the waves, SW adds 41.2%, and the S sector is nearly absent. Around 68% of the waves roll through in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range, while 31% reach the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class, so consistency beats size.
Wind conditions remain favorable, with ideal offshore directions blowing 52% of the time. Westerly and WNW flow dominates the wind rose, but it stays light to moderate, and the offshore N/NW component still gets plenty of morning and evening cleanups. Precipitation is minimal at 0.24mm/day and the air stays warm at 25.0°C. Water temperature eases slightly to 28.1°C. February is a great month to score lined-up, long-period surf before the tropically influenced spring transition begins.
