The Lowdown

Right. Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for Acapulquito-Costa Azul over this 16-day stretch.

First thing you need to know: the water is warm – we're talking about 88°F with a big old anomaly of 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's pretty unusual; feels like bathwater out there. The region's a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the south, and it doesn't break all that often – it's an inconsistent spot, so when it fires, you've got to be on it.

The forecast kicks off with a bit of a slow start. Afternoon of Tuesday the 8th is marginal – cross-on wind and small swell at 2ft from the SW – not worth getting wet for. Wednesday the 9th is similar, clean in the morning but still on the small side.

Then things change. Thursday morning the 10th is where I'd be looking hard. That's glassy, with a solid 4ft SW groundswell rolling in on a long 16-second period. The energy is moderate but punchy for the size (823). The offshore kicks in by the afternoon with a NW breeze, making for clean, peeling lines. This is a standout window for the experienced surfer – the 4ft on a beach-reef setup with glass to offshore wind is about as good as it gets here.

Friday the 11th keeps the good vibes going. Glassy again in the morning, 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds. Energy drops a little (536), but it's clean. Afternoon gets a cross-off breeze – still clean, but a touch smaller.

The weekend into next week holds some decent morning sessions. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are both glassy early – 3ft and 2ft SW respectively. Not big, but clean and fun for the intermediates. The afternoon thunderstorms and cross-shore winds spoil it a bit.

Monday the 14th is a write-off – poor conditions, and that afternoon brings a 7ft SSE windswell with a short 7-second period and a 12 mph cross-wind – that's messy, more for the kite crew than us paddle surfers. Let's skip it.

Tuesday the 15th is another standout. Glassy morning with 2ft from the SSW on an 18-second period – very long period groundswell, which will wrap nicely into the point at high tide. Energy's good for its size (532). Afternoon's clean cross-off. Best of the second part of the week.

From Wednesday the 16th through the 19th, it's a mixed bag. Some mornings are glassy with 3ft – 4ft SW swell, but the winds get cross or cross-onshore by the afternoon. Still, the 17th (Thursday) morning and afternoon are clean and worth a look.

Now the end of the 16-day window – the 20th through the 23rd – this is looking promising, but it's far out so we're talking more of a heads-up than a sure thing. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st are glassy mornings with 3ft to 4ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds, pushing moderate to strong energy (907 on Monday). Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are full glass all day – both mornings and afternoons – with 4ft to 4ft SSW swell at 15-16 seconds. If the forecast holds, that stretch is the best of the whole two weeks. Clean, consistent, and proper wave energy.

Overall, if you've got to pick two standouts: Thursday the 10th (glassy then offshore, solid 4ft SW) and Monday the 21st (glassy, strong energy 4ft SW, 17-second period). Both are for intermediate to expert surfers due to the size. Crowds are a factor though – this spot is often crowded, so get there before the rush.

No other breaks to compare it to – this is the only one on the map for this region.

Keep an eye on that long-range glassy window – could be special.

Rusty.
