The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Acapulquito-Costa Azul has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, this is a run of small, clean, long-period groundswell with a lot of promise for the intermediate crew, but don't go expecting any heavy barrels. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, not too hot, not too cold.

We start off on Friday the 11th with a bit of a dodgy start. There's some swell around 3 ft to 4 ft from the SW, period is a juicy 15 seconds, but the wind is messing it up with cross-onshore and cross conditions. The wave energy is moderate (525), but the texture is chopped, so it's a better day to watch than paddle out.

Saturday the 12th is where it starts to turn on. Saturday morning is looking clean with glassy conditions, swell 3 ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and the energy is moderate (314). It's small, but it'll be clean.

Sunday the 13th morning is glassy again, with 2 ft SW swell and 13-second period, energy moderate (331). Nice little runners if you've got a log or a mid-length.

Then we hit a run of proper quality from Tuesday the 15th afternoon all the way through to Wednesday the 23rd. The real standout starts on Wednesday the 16th. We're looking at clean, glassy conditions all day, with the swell bumping to 3 ft - 4 ft from the SSW, period 15-16 seconds, and the energy climbing into the moderate range (637 to 728). This is the best window of the forecast: clean, lined-up groundswell, slight offshores or glass, and that long period will wrap in with some punch. Perfect for a point break session. The crowds are "often" here, so expect company.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th keep that quality going, with glassy mornings and clean afternoons, swell holding around 3 ft to 3 ft, and energy strong (741). Long period (19 seconds) on Friday the 18th will make for some long waits between sets, but the waves that come will be well-shaped.

The swell sticks around into the second week. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd see the swell push to 4 ft from the SW, period 16-17 seconds, and the energy is reaching strong levels (921 on Monday morning). Still glassy mornings. This is certainly surfable for intermediates, but when the swell is over 5 ft it starts to get challenging for beginners. Here, it stays just under that.

The last couple of days, from the 24th onward, the trend is downward. The energy drops, the period shortens, and by the 25th and 26th the wind picks up strong (35 km/h on the 26th) with cross-onshore conditions making it lumpy. That Saturday the 26th is a write-off.

So, the standout is easily Wednesday 16th through Friday 18th September. Clean, glassy conditions, long period SW groundswell, and moderate to strong energy. It's small but sweet. For the best of the best, I'm calling Wednesday the 16th as the day: glass from dawn to dusk, 3 ft to 4 ft SSW swell, 15 to 16 second groundswell, clean and inviting.

Stay stoked, and don't sleep on that mid-week window.
