Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the outlook for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. It’s a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, and you’ll need some patience.

First off, this break is a beach and reef setup that’s a bit inconsistent, so it’s not a constant wave machine. The first few days are pretty flat. Monday the 13th has small waves, 1.0m to 0.9m from the SSW, but the cross-on wind makes it mediocre. The energy is moderate (573 to 506). Not worth paddling out for.

Things stay quiet through the middle of the week. Tuesday the 14th sees the swell drop to 0.6m – 0.7m, and the wind is on it or cross-on. Poor to marginal. Wednesday and Thursday are even worse, with swell below 0.6m and choppy conditions. The energy is weak (down to 253). This is a real slow stretch.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th show a little bump. The swell picks up to 1.4m – 1.2m from the SSW, but the wind stays cross-on. The energy is moderate (567 to 698), but it’s still marginal. The afternoon of Friday has a clean look with a cross-off wind, but it’s not a standout.

The first real highlight comes on Sunday the 19th. The morning is still marginal, but the afternoon turns glassy with a light ESE breeze. The swell is 0.8m from the SSW with a long 17-second period, and the energy is moderate (692). For a spot that’s inconsistent, this is a rare window of clean, surfable waves.

From Monday the 20th onward, the wind turns nasty. We get a fresh breeze and lumpy conditions, and the swell starts to build. It’s not for paddle surfing. By Tuesday the 21st, the swell hits 2.1m – 2.5m from the SSW, but with 25 – 35 km/h winds, it’s a mess. The energy is strong (1607 to 2304), but this is more of a kite surfing setup than a surf session.

The following week is a rollercoaster. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd see big swell (2.4m – 1.7m) but with strong winds and rain. The energy is strong (up to 1804), but conditions are poor. Friday the 24th is similar, with 1.6m – 1.5m and onshore winds.

The second week’s best bet is Sunday the 26th. The morning is glassy, with 0.7m of SW swell and a very long 19-second period. The energy is still moderate (804). It’s a promise of clean, lined-up waves, but it’s a long-range call, so don’t count on it.

Finally, the standout of the entire forecast is Monday the 27th afternoon. The swell jumps to 2.5m from the SE, with a glassy, light wind. The wave energy is huge (3123). This is big, powerful, and clean. It’s only for experienced surfers, but if you’re up for it, this is the session to aim for. Tuesday the 28th morning has even bigger swell at 3.0m, but the wind is onshore, so it’s chaotic.

To sum it up: the first week is mostly a dud, with a glimmer on Sunday the 19th. The second week has a few cleaner windows, but the real standout is the afternoon of Monday the 27th. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this place can turn on a dime.

Rusty.
