Conditions at Chicama in February
February: Midsummer Gold Standard
February raises the bar with ideal surfing conditions 90 percent of the time. The SSW swell signal strengthens to 92 percent of all wave energy, with a secondary S component and only trace amounts from other directions. Average height is 1.4m (4-5ft), and the average period extends to 12.5 seconds. The wind field is still built around S/SSE airflow, but the stronger SSW portion means more true offshore groomed conditions on the point.
Sea surface temperature peaks in the low 20s at 21.8°C, and air temperatures average 22.9°C. With rains staying negligible and the swell both steady and powerful, February offers about as consistent and clean a formula as Chicama can deliver.
