Conditions at Pacifico in February
February: Same Monsoon, Same Struggles
February brings little relief. The average swell height remains robust at 1.6m with a 9.4s period, but again the energy is all from the wrong directions: NE (49.1%) and ENE (43.1%) combine for over 90% of the wave energy. The wind regime stays locked in the eastern half of the compass, with ENE (35.3%), E (17.9%), and NE (24.4%) dominating, leaving only 1% of the time in ideal offshore conditions. The northeast monsoon is relentless, and with it comes continued high precipitation at 12.67 mm/day, air temps averaging 27.0°C, and sea surface temperature at 27.5°C. For Pacifico, February is about sitting patiently and not getting excited by the big, messy lines on the horizon. The swell is there, no doubt, but the onshore winds will almost always tear it apart before it reaches the lineup.
