The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
The start is a real bummer. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are flat and messy, with tiny, onshore junk. Not worth the walk.
Thursday the 16th is the first real chance. The morning is dead calm with a 1.6ft south swell. It’s small, but glassy. The afternoon picks up a little with a 1.6ft southwest swell, and it stays glassy. The water is a very unusual 84° – that’s way warmer than average, so you’ll be in boardies.
Friday the 17th is a waste. Saturday the 18th jumps to 5.6ft from the southwest, but the wind is onshore, so it’s bumpy and lumpy. The energy is moderate (1270), but the quality is poor.
The first real standout is Wednesday the 22nd. The morning has a solid 7.2ft swell from the SSW, with a 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell with strong energy (1611). The wind is light and almost glassy. It’s going to be clean and powerful. It’s a bit much for groms, but for the rest of you, this is the best of the first week. The break is often crowded, so be there early.
The second week has another gem. Saturday the 25th is a beauty. The morning is clear with a light offshore breeze from the west, and a 4.3ft swell from the WSW. The afternoon is even better: 3.9ft of swell from the southwest, but with a very long period of 19 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the northwest. The energy is very strong (1776). This is the kind of day where the waves have real power and shape, and the wind is just right. That’s your standout.
Sunday the 26th is a letdown with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. The rest of the second week is a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds, with moderate to strong swell. Wednesday the 29th brings a big 11.5ft to 9.8ft swell from the south, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s only for experts. The energy is massive (4618-4903), but the wind is a problem.
So, your best bets are Wednesday the 22nd for big, clean groundswell, and Saturday the 25th for that perfect, long-period, offshore wind session. The rest is a mixed bag, but those two days are the real deal.
