February: Warmest Water, Steadier SW Energy
February sees a slight bump in average swell height to 1.5m (5ft) and the period stays at a solid 13.1s. The swell window narrows further: SSW accounts for 77% and SW adds 22%, meaning almost all wave energy is coming from the preferred directions for Caballeros. The distribution is split between 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft), with around 46% of observations in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. It is the warmest month of the year - water temps hit 19.8°C - so the waves are fun, pushy and relatively user-friendly.
Ideal offshore wind improves to 10% in February, the second-highest of the year. Still, the dominant flow is from the S/SSW/SW quadrant, with S at 20.5%, SSW at 28.9% and SW at 25.2%. The southwesterly component is the one to watch: when it blows over 10kph, it turns the lineup bumpy and onshore. February is a good month to pick your windows, especially around early mornings and lighter wind days. Air temperatures average 21.4°C, precipitation is negligible, and the desert heat makes for pleasant sessions.
