The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. This spot is a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but we’ve got a solid window of proper surf coming up. It’s a beach and reef setup, so it can handle a bit of swell direction, but it’s inconsistent and tends to need things to line up just right. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.

We’re starting off a bit slow. Thursday morning (16th July) there’s surfable waves at 2ft from the SE, but it’s pretty ordinary. Glassy conditions though, so if you’re desperate you could get a few grovelly ones. The afternoon sees things drop off with a 2ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 19 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell. That’s interesting, but it’s cross-shore wind and the combined energy is only 277, so it’s weak and messy. Not worth paddling out for.

Friday morning (17th July) is where it starts to get a little bit of life. We’ve got 4ft from the S with a period of 11 seconds and glassy conditions. The combined energy is 337, so it’s moderate. Expect good surf conditions, but it’s still small. The afternoon picks up to 5ft from the SSW, but the wind goes cross-shore, and the comment says marginal. It’s a tease.

Now, here’s the standout. The whole stretch from Monday afternoon (20th July) through to Wednesday afternoon (22nd July) is the real deal. Monday afternoon (20th July) we get a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, glassy, calm wind, and the combined energy is 1622 – that’s strong wave energy. The comment says excellent for experienced surfers. Tuesday (21st July) morning is glassy with 6ft from the SSW, and the afternoon gets even better with 7ft from the same direction, still glassy. The energy is 1878. Wednesday (22nd July) morning is the peak at 8ft from the SSW, glassy, with a combined energy of 2160. Wednesday afternoon holds at 8ft from the SW. This is proper surf. The period is around 13-14 seconds, so it’s good groundswell. The wind is offshore or glassy the whole time – clean, lined-up waves. Over 8ft, it’s only for experts, and 8ft is getting up there, so this is for the experienced crew. The optimum swell direction is S, and we’re getting SSW to SW, so it’s in the right ballpark. Crowds are often, so expect company.

Thursday (23rd July) morning is still 7ft from the SW but onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy. The afternoon clears up with cross-offshore wind and 6ft, still excellent. That’s a good second option.

After that, things get messy. From Friday (24th July) onwards, the wind picks up and the quality drops. The swell hangs around 4ft to 6ft, but it’s cross-on or cross-shore wind, and the combined energy drops. The 21-second period on Friday afternoon (24th July) is a tease – long-period groundswell, but it’s cross-shore and the quality is marginal. The following week (25th July to 31st July) is mostly poor to marginal. The wind is consistently cross-on or onshore, and the combined energy is moderate at best. Sunday afternoon (26th July) is a write-off with 12 mph cross-on wind and poor conditions. The last few days of July are poor, with combined energy dropping below 1000 and wind making it choppy.

So, the best on offer is Monday afternoon (20th July) through Wednesday afternoon (22nd July) – that’s your window. Get on it, because the second week is a write-off. For beginners, the Thursday morning (16th July) is tiny and glassy, but it’s inconsistent and the swell is weak. Not worth the drive unless you’re just messing around. For the experts, that Tuesday and Wednesday are the standout.

This is a spot that’s inconsistent, so when it’s on, it’s on. When it’s not, it’s a blank run. The forecast for the second week looks like a normal quiet spell for the area. Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
