The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checking in. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
First up, Acapulquito-Costa Azul has got some inconsistent surf, so don't expect a quick fix. The standouts in this 16-day window are a couple of days that are looking pretty decent. The best bet is Monday the 28th of July. The morning session is the one to aim for. We’ve got a 6ft south-southwest swell, with a period of 17 seconds, and it's glassy. That's a big deal. The water is a stunning 86°, which is 5° warmer than normal, so it's very unusual. That swell is packing a strong 2430 of combined energy. It’s a bit for the experienced crew, but that clean face will be a treat.
The other standout I’ll mention is the afternoon of August 1st. The swell has dropped to 3ft from the west-southwest, but the wind is cross-offshore and clean. It’s a better option for the less consistent end of the run, though the energy is weak at 343.
The run starts on Wednesday the 22nd of July with a 4ft south-west swell and cross-on wind. It’s not totally blown out, but it’s not clean. The swell bumps up through the end of the week, but it’s mostly cross-shore or cross-offshore, and the surf is marginal. The best of the early run is the morning of the 23rd, but it’s only 2ft.
The real trouble hits on the 29th of July. The afternoon sees a 7ft swell from the south-southeast, but it’s onshore and lumpy with a risk of thunderstorms. The 30th looks like a write-off, with 16ft and 15ft onshore slop and near gale winds. That’s for the kite crew, not paddle surfers. The swell fades after that, and there’s a big gap in the first week of August with only tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. The morning of August 2nd looks okay with 2ft and glassy, but it’s small.
So, to sum it up: the standout is the morning of Monday the 28th of July. After that, the afternoon of August 1st is a decent fallback. The rest is a lot of waiting for clean conditions on a tricky break.
Rusty.
