Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya what we've got cookin' at Acapulquito-Costa Azul.

Right off the bat, this is a stretch that's known to be inconsistent, and the first week or so is gonna live up to that rep. We're lookin' at a real slow start. For the first several days, the wave energy is sitting in the moderate range—we're talkin' combined energy values in the 400s to 600s—but the surf itself is just too small and weak to get excited about. It's gonna feel like the ocean is catching its breath.

Now, the water here is a real standout. It's sitting at 87°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That is *much warmer than usual*, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. This is some seriously tropical bath water.

Okay, let’s get into the details. The first real glimmer of hope, and honestly the best bet in the whole outlook, shows up on Thursday, the 13th of August. Early that morning, we've got clean, glassy conditions with a light SSE breeze, and a solid 3ft groundswell from the SW with a period of 16 seconds. That's proper groundswell, and it'll be wrapping into this exposed spot real nice. The wave energy is moderate at 418, but that long period will bring real shape. The only bummer is this break is inconsistent, so you might have to wait for the sets, but when they come, they'll be clean and lined up. The crowd situation is "often", so expect a few heads out there with you, but with the quality on offer, it's worth sharing.

We see another clean moment on the morning of Tuesday, the 24th of August. Again, glassy conditions with a 2ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds. It's small, but on a longboard or a funboard, you'll have a blast. The energy is moderate at 472, so there's enough push for a cruise.

For the rest of the time, it's pretty marginal. There's a small bump in swell size on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, with the swell hitting 5ft and combined energy jumping up over 1000 (strong), but the wind is cross-onshore, putting a bit of a crinkly texture on the face. It's not hopeless—an experienced surfer could still find a few corners—but it won't be as clean as that Thursday morning.

A few afternoons, like the 20th and 23rd, show clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is small, coming in at 3ft to 3ft. Still, clean small waves beat chopped-out junk any day.

Honestly, the standout here is that Thursday morning session on the 13th. That's your window. The water's warm, the wind is perfect, and there's enough long-period groundswell to make this inconsistent spot come alive.

Keep your eyes on the horizon, folks.
