Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Acapulquito-Costa Azul has cooking for the next couple of weeks. It's a slow starter, but there's a proper pulse coming through towards the end.

The water temp is sitting right where you'd expect for this time of year, nothing weird to report—just your usual warm Pacific.

For the first week or so, it's honestly a tough go. We kick off on Saturday, July 4th with small 3ft from the SSW, and while the morning has a slight air and clean-ish feel, the energy is only moderate (482), and the break is *inconsistent* and can be crowded. The period is a long 13 seconds, so it'll have some punch, but the tides and conditions are just marginal. This pattern basically hangs around through the next week – waves between 3ft and 5ft, mostly cross-onshore breezes, and a lot of 'marginal' feels. The combined swell energy bounces around moderate to strong (771 to 1518), but the wind never really plays ball for clean, lined-up surf. Sunday the 5th through to the 13th is a stretch of mediocrity; there's swell there, but the wind keeps messing it up. Monday the 13th even drops right off to 2ft.

Now, hang in there, because the second half of the second week starts looking interesting. Thursday the 16th shows a jump in size with 8ft from the SSE, but that's accompanied by a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind, so it's messy and really only for the hardcore.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Friday, July 17th. The morning session is where it's at. We've got a solid 7ft of SSW groundswell, and the wind is forecast to go *glass* – dead calm, zero wind. That is a massive positive. The energy is pumping hard at 2805, and this kind of long-period, clean swell on a beach and reef setup will produce some proper, powerful walls. It's going to be excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon bumps up to 10ft but gets a cross-onshore chop, so get out there early.

Saturday the 18th is also a very good shout. The morning has 8ft from the SSW with only a slight air, and the afternoon looks even cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW and 8ft of swell. That's another day of strong, clean waves for the experienced crew. Crowds are often a factor here, so keep that in mind.

So, to wrap it up: don't waste your time on the first ten days—it's a write-off. The gold is the morning of Friday the 17th and the afternoon of Saturday the 18th. Those are your windows.

Rusty.
