Postman806 Posted April 14, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Looking at cruising next Feb with some first time cruisers who are Leary of rough waters. I'm wondering first about the Ensenada/Catalina Island cruise. Is Feb a storm season in that area? Or is there a time of year when the waters are rougher in general? Basically the same question for the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Thanks in advance:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2013 You can never be certain on cruises but those are nice times to sail each of those areas. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2013 We have cruised the Caribbean in nearly all months including February -- sometimes we have had excellent weather -- sometimes we have had rough seas. As for Catalina -- we only sailed there the first part of May -- lovely weather. It is hard to predict what the weather will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted April 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2013 There's absolutely no way to predict the seas or weather. It's like asking you, will it rain in your neighborhood on May 4, 2014. I've cruised a lot in Feb and have experienced all kinds of weather and sea height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance:) We have cruised Mexico many times during that month and just as recent as last Feb...Also have done the eastern caribbean many times in March...go and enjoy.

Postman806 Posted April 15, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I realize a storm can hit any area at any time. What I'm specifically looking for is seasonal info. Example. Where I live we get more rain in May than in July. It is MORE LIKELY. Wondering if there is a STORM SEASON for those areas and if that storm season is Feb.

dread_pirate Posted April 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2013 February is not storm season in the Caribbean. Storm season there is June 1 - November 30 (otherwise known as hurricane season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the best guide for the dates you have in mind to see what recent history shows the weather has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseaholic777 Posted April 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Check the average weather for cruise ports. They will tell you average temps and average rainfall. Have a great cruise. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
