The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the only spot that’s even thinking about breaking for the next couple of weeks.
It’s gonna be a quiet spell, no doubt. The only place showing any kind of life is Acapulquito-Costa Azul (Mexico). It’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t get your hopes up for a steady run. The first real chance of something decent doesn’t roll in until the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, so we’ve got a bit of a wait.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Let’s just skip the first week of August. It’s mostly small, choppy, and not worth the effort. The wind is a mess.
The first real highlight is the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 3ft swell out of the SSW with a solid 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate (503). That long period means groundswell energy, which gives the waves some punch, but at a spot like this, it can make them a bit tricky.
The absolute standout, though, is Friday, August 14th. The morning is glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but the afternoon is where you want to be. We’re looking at a 5ft SSW swell, still glassy, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1235. This is the best surf of the whole forecast. The swell is getting up there, but it’s not a beast. The direction is perfect. It’s a standout, but expect the place to be packed because it’s often busy.
After that, there are a few other glassy mornings with smaller, rideable swell around 3ft to 4ft, like on the 16th and 21st of August. They’re solid, but nothing beats that Friday the 14th.
The second week has some clean windows, but the swell is smaller and the period drops. It’s better than the first week, but if you can only pick one day, make it the 14th. That’s the one.
Rusty.
