The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Acapulquito-Costa Azul for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a nice little run of surf to start, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first few days are looking real clean and glassy, but the second week gets messy with wind and storms. The real standout window is this Tuesday afternoon and into Thursday morning, so if you can get wet, that’s your time.

Tuesday afternoon (August 25th) is the pick. Water temp is 89°, which is *way warmer than normal* for this time of year – feels like a warm bath. Swell is a playful 2ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and at this point-and-reef, it’s gonna wrap in sweet. The combined energy is moderate (547), and with the wind glassy as a mirror, it’s going to be clean, smooth, and uncrowded – though it can get busy here *often*. This is a true standout.

Wednesday morning (26th) is a bit of a dud with a marginal forecast, but Wednesday afternoon picks up again with a 3ft SW swell and glassy conditions. The period drops to 11 seconds, so it’s a bit more of a windswell feel, but still clean. Thursday morning (27th) is the other gem – 3ft of SW groundswell at 14 seconds, glassy as glass, and the energy is solid (580). That’s a top-tier session.

After that, it gets rough. From Friday (28th) through the end of the first week, the wind swings onshore and cross-shore, and the swell builds to 4ft-5ft, but the quality drops. The combined energy climbs into the 1000s (1134-1479), so there’s plenty of power, but it’s choppy. Not great for a paddle. Kite surfers might have a field day, but for a surfboard, it’s a pass.

Sunday morning (30th) sees the swell hit 5ft from the SSW, but with a tricky cross-onshore wind, it’s marginal. Same story into the next week – the first few days of September have some clean windows (like Monday afternoon (31st) with a 4ft SSW swell and cross-offshore wind), but the energy is dropping (443-667).

Then we hit a real stormy patch from September 4th onwards. The swell gets bigger – 5ft to 8ft – but it’s all cross-onshore, with risk of thunderstorms and moderate rain. Not worth it.

Now, hold onto your board, because September 8th and 9th are a different beast. Tuesday (8th) sees a massive 10ft-13ft SSW swell, with the combined energy going through the roof (5303-7785). This is for experts only – over 8ft is serious. Wednesday morning (9th) is the absolute peak: 12ft SW swell, glassy wind, and the energy is 6803. The forecast says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers.” That’s a true big-wave day for the crew with the right gear and the nerve. The period is 14 seconds, so it’s got some serious push. Wednesday afternoon is still solid at 12ft, but with a light offshore from the NNW, it’s clean for the experienced.

Overall, the best two windows are Tuesday afternoon (August 25th) and Thursday morning (August 27th) for the everyday surfer, and Wednesday morning (September 9th) for the hellmen. The rest is a mixed bag.

Rusty.
