February: Steady SSW/SW Groundswell with Dry, Offshore Windows
February sees Petacalco's southern hemisphere groundswell increase slightly, with an average swell height of 1.0m (3.3ft) and periods holding at a solid 13.3s. The waverose is dominated by SW (51.3%) and SSW (32.3%) swell, with almost all waves breaking in the 0.5-1.5m (1.6-4.9ft) range and a few 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) sets. This is right in the fun, rippable zone for the sandbars. Winds are ideal around 53% of the time, though the most common winds remain light from NNE and SW; when the SW sea breeze kicks in during the afternoon, expect some windslop, but morning offshore and calmer westerly/northwesterly flows keep things clean.
