Conditions at Consolacao in February
February: Still Pumping, Slightly Less Consistent
February is a mirror image of January for the most part, with the average swell only dropping to 8.8ft (2.7m) and the period staying at a beefy 13.0 seconds. The swell-direction histogram reveals the same recipe: NW (17.3 percent), WNW (15.8 percent), and NNW (11.9 percent) dominate, all of which are ideal or close to ideal for Consolacao. The wind becomes a touch more northerly this month - NNW flow takes up a hefty 18.9 percent of the time - but the ideal offshore window still holds at 33 percent. This is an important block of winter where the Atlantic lows keep marching across the northern latitudes, feeding the beach with long-period WNW and NW swell. Water temperature falls to its annual minimum of 14.0°C, so keep the thick suit handy. Air temps average 12.3°C, while rainfall drops slightly to 2.11 mm/day. The main difference from January is a small dip in consistency; you may wait a few extra days between the big pulses, but when they arrive, the size and power are just as impressive.
