Conditions at La Bocana in February
February: The Southern Hemisphere Starts to Flex
February marks a shift in the balance of power at La Bocana. The average height holds at 4.6ft (1.4m), but the period lengthens to 11.9s and the S/SSW/S swell window grows to roughly 58% of all wave energy. SSW alone delivers 32.4% of the surf, with most of that in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and a healthy chunk pushing 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m). This is the time when long-period southern-hemisphere groundswell starts to blend with the dying winter NE/ENE windswell. Winds are favorable about 48% of the time; NE/NNE/ENE flow totals around 33%, while WSW/SW/W onshore flow takes up another 32%. You'll want to target the morning hours before the seabreeze kicks up. With air temps averaging 20.5°C, water at 26.4°C and almost no rainfall, February delivers some of the most comfortable surf days of the year-if you can catch a clean S/SSW window.
