Conditions at Agua d'Alto in February
February: Deep Winter, Slightly More Grooming
February keeps the winter pedal down with a 2.6m (8.5ft) average swell and a 12.2s period. The largest directional buckets remain NW (10.6%), NNW (10.5%) and WNW (8.2%), while the ideal S, SSW, SW and WSW directions make up only about 4% of all swell-so Agua d'Alto is still waiting for that perfect southwest groundswell window. The dominant wave heights cluster around 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft), matching the pumping-to-firing category.
The good news is a modest uptick in clean offshore flow: ideal wind jumps to 25%, with NNE, NE and ENE all showing consistent 10-20kph speeds. The bad news is SW and WSW winds still team up for over 19% of the month and can turn the surface into rough, bumpy chaos. Catch the N-to-NE windows between weather systems and February delivers seriously good, powerful surf. Water temperature drops to 16.1°C, air temperature sits at 15.4°C, and rain averages 1.96 mm/day.
