Conditions at Punta Panico in February
February: Warm Water, Westerly Push
February keeps the summer template alive with an average swell height of 5ft (1.5m) and a 14-second period. The directional mix rotates a bit more toward SW, which now accounts for 57% of the energy, followed by WSW at 21% and SSW at 15%. There is still no N or NW energy in the rose, so Punta Panico remains reliant on refracted south-west groundswell to produce anything rideable. The winds remain largely offshore - S, SSW, SW and WSW total roughly 68% - but the W through NNW quadrant picks up to about 22%, explaining why the ideal-wind percentage dips slightly to 57%. Water temperature peaks at 24.4°C, making it the warmest month of the year, and with waves in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range making up 60% of the distribution, expect a lot of fun, rippable, but directionally softened surf. Rain is a touch more present at 1.48mm/day, but still not a factor.
