Conditions at Punta Miramar in February
February: Strong Trades, Still S-Washed
February runs a very similar script to January. Average surf size ticks up to 1.1m (3.5ft) and period lengthens to 12.7s, but the wave rose is still split between S (19.1%), SSE (15.0%), SE (13.7%) and SSW (26.2%), meaning the dominant swell direction is again not perfectly aligned with the beach. The optimal SSW/SW combo accounts for 32.8% of all energy. Wind blows offshore and strong from the ENE 66.9% of the time, with E and NE adding another 19.5%; ideal wind frequency dips to 41%, reflecting more variability and occasional westerly/onshore pulses. It is dry and warm, with air at 28.0°C and water at 26.9°C, so conditions are visitor-friendly, but bring a high-performance groveler and pick your southwest swell windows.
