February: The Best Wind Odds of the Year
February is a standout month at El Paso because it pairs quality SSW groundswell with the best offshore-wind percentage of the calendar (7%). Average swell nudges up to 1.5m (5ft) with a 13.1s period, and 77% of the energy arrives from the SSW, with 22% from SW. The height distribution shows a meaty 32% of waves in the 1.5-2m (5-7ft) range and 2.2% pushing toward 2-2.5m (6-8ft), so there is plenty of power to work with.
While SSW/SW winds still dominate, the increased frequency of light offshore NNE/NE/E flows means more sessions with clean, lined-up faces. Water temperature reaches its seasonal peak at 19.8°C, and air temperatures average 21.4°C with only 0.22mm/day of rain.
