February: Warm Water, Steady Long-Period Swell
February is slightly stronger than January, with average wave heights at 6ft (1.7m) and an average period of 13.2s. SSW swell strengthens its grip, accounting for 71.6% of the energy, with SW swell adding 25.6%. Nearly 60% of the waves fall in the 5-7ft (1.5-2m) range, while 10% push into the 7-8ft (2-2.5m) class. That combination of height and long period makes for powerful, well-shaped surf on the better sandbanks.
The wind picture remains ideal. S winds blow 35.5% of the time, SSW winds 33.5% and SW winds 21.6%, keeping conditions offshore and groomed. The wind is favorable 95% of the month. Water temperature peaks at 20.0°C - the warmest of the year - with air temperatures around 19.5°C. It is the classic Peruvian summer surf session: clean, warm and a touch smaller than the winter giants to come.
