Conditions at Aterro in February
February: Still Heavy, Slightly Less Consistent
February keeps a near twin of January's pulse, averaging 8ft (2.5m) at 12.8 seconds, but with slightly fewer clean windows at 43% ideal wind. WNW swell delivers 21.5% of the energy, NW adds 18.8%, while W and WSW contribute another 9.0% - keeping the optimal western window near 50% of all swell. Most heights cluster in the 1.5-2.5m zone, giving firing, powerful walls rather than unmanageable monsters.
Winds are a mix of land and sea. E (9.3%), SSE (6.0%), S (6.1%) and SSW (6.5%) offer offshore and sideshore windows, while NNW (14.6%) remains the main quality killer. With water temp at 13.2°C and air around 10.8°C, keep the thick rubber handy; the wet season continues with 3.16 mm/day of rain.
