Conditions at Chacahua in February
February: More South Swell, Longer Periods
February sees the SSW window widen and the average period stretch to 12.7s. The average swell height remains modest at 4.3ft (1.3m), but the distribution shifts toward the ideal directions: SSW takes 36.7%, SW 15.6% and S 15.2%, with a much smaller ENE/E/ESE component than January. There are now more 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) pulses from the SSW, and the 10-14s period band gives those waves real shape down the sandbars. Wind is ideal 49% of the time; NNW and NW directions still dominate, but WSW and W flow begins to increase, so the better waves will come with the early-morning offshore regime. Weather is dry and tropical, with air temperatures around 27.6°C and water at 27.1°C.
