The Lowdown

Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.

We’re kicking off with a bit of a slow burner, but don’t write it off. This spot is a beach and reef setup, exposed to south swells, and right now it’s inconsistent, so you have to pick your moments. The water is sitting at a very unusual 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be surfing in a bath.

The standout session comes early on Monday the 31st of August morning. It’s clear, glassy with a SSW wind at just 3 mph, and a clean 3 ft swell from the SSW, rolling in with a period of 13 seconds. That’s got 555 units of wave energy behind it – a decent moderate push. The conditions are spot-on: glassy surface, clean lines. This is the best on offer – get on it.

Things drop off fast after that. Monday afternoon turns to risk of thunderstorms with a cross shore wind, and the swell backs off. Tuesday and Wednesday get messy with onshore winds and building swell, hitting 8 ft to 10 ft. By Thursday and Friday, we’ve got bigger swell, up to 10 ft, but with onshore winds and risk of storms making it choppy and poor. That’s expert territory if you’re keen, but the quality is shot.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th stay in the 7 ft to 8 ft range, but winds are cross-onshore and it stays choppy. Not recommended.

Then we get a nice turnaround on Monday the 7th of September morning. The swell drops to 5 ft from the west, 11-second period, and it’s glassy again – wind from the west at just 3 mph. That’s 1161 units of wave energy, so it’s got some grunt, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. A solid second wind.

After that, the rest of the week and into the second week sees the swell ease right down to 2 ft to 4 ft, mostly from the SW. There are multiple mornings and afternoons with glassy conditions, especially on the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th of September. These are small but perfectly clean – great for a longboard or a funboard if you want to cruise. No big standouts, just consistent small waves and clean conditions.

Tuesday morning the 15th of September finishes the run with more glassy 2 ft to 2 ft waves.

In short: Monday morning the 31st of August is the pick of the bunch. Monday morning the 7th of September is a close second for the bigger, clean swell. The rest is small and clean, or big and messy. No surf for beginners on the big days, but plenty of small clean waves for the patient surfer.

Rusty.
