Conditions at Chatarra in February
February: More of the Same, With a Slight ENE Nudge
February mirrors January in many ways: average surf height holds at 3ft (0.9m), period stays at 6.2s, and the wave direction remains dominated by E and ESE, at 44.7% and 42.4% respectively. The most useful signal is a 6.4% ENE contribution, which is the best directional hint for Chatarra's north-northeast exposure outside of a full-blown north swell. It is not a lot, but it keeps the break from going completely flat during the month.
Winds follow the same trade-dominated pattern, with E at 36.0%, ESE at 20.7% and ENE at 19.3%. The lighter wind speeds are common, and the ideal offshore wind number creeps up slightly to 25%. Rain is modest at 2.26mm/day, air sits at 24.9°C and water at 26.3°C. In short, February is a month for small but reasonably shaped waves when the morning glass window coincides with one of those rare southern wind shifts.
