Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the ocean’s got cooking for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
The forecast here is a bit of a long, slow burn with no real fireworks. We’ve got a fairly consistent run of waist-to-chest high swell pushing in from the south-southwest, but the wind is mostly a problem. For the first week, the wind hangs in from the south or southwest, keeping things choppy and cross-onshore, which really messes with the shape. Even though the deep-water energy is solid to strong, by the time it hits the beach it looks marginal.
It’s not all bad news. The best window by a long shot lands on Sunday, July 12th. That afternoon the wind goes glassy—dead calm—and we’ve still got 4ft of 14-second south-southwest groundswell. The water temp is a very unusual 84°, which is about 6° warmer than average, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. That Sunday arvo is your standout. It’s small and clean, but the quality will be there.
The rest of the period into the second week drops off. Swell fades to under 3ft, and the wind stays onshore or cross for most of it. Everything looks poor or marginal. There’s a brief bit of cleaner cross-off wind on the afternoon of Saturday, July 18th, but the swell is only 2ft of long-period stuff, so it’s a long shot. Monday, July 20th has a little lift to 3ft, but the cross-on wind limits it.
Best call: Sunday, July 12th afternoon. Glassy conditions on that 4ft south-southwest swell. It won’t be big, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see in this 16-day stretch.
Rusty.
