Conditions at Lobitos in February
February: Peak Summer Offshore Reliability
February brings an average swell of 1.5m (5ft) with a 13.5s period. SW dominates hard at 57.2%, followed by SSW (20.4%) and WSW (17.5%). The core of the energy sits in the 1-2m (3-7ft) class, so Lobitos is looking at steady, solid head-high-plus waves. The direction is still predominantly SSW/SW, which is not the ideal north swell for this exposed north-facing break, but the long period keeps the surf alive and wrapping.
Wind quality is excellent - 77% ideal. Light to moderate S/SSE flow in the 10-20kph range is dominant, with SW/WSW also present. North winds only appear in tiny percentages, so blown-out conditions are rare. It is the warmest-water month of the year: air temps around 25.7°C, water temperature 24.5°C and 1.48mm/day of rain. Expect warm, clean, head-high-plus waves.
