The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on your local stretch. Let's see what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a real slow start, then a bit of a bumpy ride before things finally look like they might line up.
The first week or so is pretty quiet. From this Saturday right through until the following Saturday, there's just not much to get excited about. Real small surf, with a lot of cross-onshore or onshore wind messing it up. We see a lot of mornings with glassy conditions for the tiniest of waves, like Monday morning the 17th with clean 4ft surf from the SW, but not enough oomph to paddle for. This period is a real test of patience.
Things start to pick up in the second week. That Saturday the 22nd, we see some new energy coming in from the SE, jumping up to 6ft, but it's a bit choppy from a moderate cross-onshore wind. The swell energy is strong though, clocking in at (1584). The next day, Sunday the 23rd, the swell hits a solid 10ft from the S, but don't get your hopes up – it's getting slammed by a strong onshore wind, making a real mess. It's a classic case of too much power with terrible conditions, more of a kiteboarding scene than a paddling one.
The best bet of the whole run looks like it might be a while off. On Thursday the 27th, we've got a long period swell arriving. The morning is absolute gold – glassy conditions, with 5ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is strong at (1442) and that glassy wind will make it clean as a whistle. This is definitely one for experienced surfers, as the swell direction might make it break a bit straight on the beach, but if you know where to sit, it could be the session of the week. It's a long-range call, so don't book your flights yet, but keep it on the radar.
So, the standout here is Thursday the 27th morning. You'll want to be at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. The swell is 5ft from the WSW, and with that glassy wind, it's going to be clean. Just keep in mind it can get crowded here sometimes, so get in early.
As for the water, it's feeling pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no crazy temperature swings to worry about.
Alright, stay stoked, and I'll catch you in the water.
