The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Acapulquito-Costa Azul (Costa Azul). It’s a beach and reef spot, facing south, and to be honest, the next couple weeks look pretty skinny. Water temp is running 87°, which is much warmer than normal – feels like a warm bath.
Your first real chance is Thursday, August 13th, in the afternoon. We’ve got a clean, offshore breeze with a 3ft south-west swell, period a solid 15 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate (477). That long period gives the waves some juice, but at a beach-reef mix it might break a bit straight. Still, it’s the highlight of the run.
Friday the 14th brings a bigger 5ft swell from the south-south-west, with a very long 18-second period. The energy jumps to strong (1223). But the wind is onshore in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon, so it’ll be choppy. That long-period groundswell will want a reef or point to really line up. Crowds are often here, so expect a few heads.
After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch. From Saturday the 15th through Wednesday the 27th of August, most days are marginal or poor. Swell heights hang around 2ft to 4ft, with short to mid periods, and the wind is mostly messy. The combined energy drops as low as (185) – real weak. There’s a gap of several days where you won’t want to bother.
You might get a flicker on Sunday the 23rd morning – a 3ft south-south-west swell, 14-second period, light cross-onshore wind. Energy’s moderate (521), but it’s not going to be clean.
For a spot that’s inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Don’t force it.
The one true standout is Thursday afternoon, August 13th – 3ft, clean offshore wind, and that solid 15-second period. That’s your window.
Keep your head up, Rusty.
