Conditions at Playa Venao in February
February: More Period Means More Push
February is a noticeable step up from January. The average wave period jumps to 10.5s, signalling the first proper long-period groundswell of the year, while the average wave height holds around 3.6ft (1.1m). SSW swell becomes the dominant favourable source, contributing 17 percent of wave energy, and SW adds nearly 10 percent more. N, NNE and NNW winds still combine for over 90 percent of the wind rose, but the ideal wind percentage eases to 51 percent as more variable days slip in. Rainfall is minimal at 0.55mm/day, air temps average 26.1°C and water temps sit at 26.4°C. This is a great month for clean, organised 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf on the better SSW pulses.
