Conditions at Manazillo Bay in February
February: Winter's Cleanest Angles
February is a masterclass in west-coast swell direction. Nearly 90 percent of the surf comes from the SW, WSW and W quadrant -- the optimal window for this west-facing beach -- and the bulk of it sits in the clean 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class at a 13.5s period. That combination gives the bay groomed, long-period lines that are very user-friendly. The trade-off is wind: WSW/SW onshore flow increases slightly, dropping ideal conditions to 34 percent, but the mornings often deliver workable land-breeze windows before the sea breeze kicks in. With 25.3°C air and 27.6°C water, it remains warm, dry and ripe for surfing.
