Conditions at Patos in February
February: Peak Power, Stormy Windows
February owns the same winter muscle as January: the average wave height stays around 5-6ft (1.7m), and the average period remains a powerful 12.9s. The swell mix again favors WNW (29.5%), NW (18.9%) and W (17.4%), giving Patos consistent exposure to long-period groundswell. The wind is ideal 37% of the time, a slight dip from January, because onshore NE/NW pulses are a bit more common. On the best days, a S/SSW offshore breeze will groom the WNW swell into clean, marching peaks. With air at 9.4°C, water at 13.0°C and frequent showers, February is for hardcore surfers who don't mind the cold in exchange for serious waves.
