The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for the next couple weeks.
Right now, it’s a bit of a slow start, and the one real good session is a few days out, so don’t rush down just yet. There’s a solid swell coming through, but the wind is blowing against it a bit at the beginning.
We kick off Monday the 27th of July at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. The swell is about 5 feet from the SSW, but a cross-onshore wind and a messy 17-second period are making it lumpy. That’s a lot of energy (2742), but the surface is chopped up. Tuesday the 28th morning gets bigger, 10 feet from the SSW with a 16-second period. That’s a heap of energy (4059), but the wind is still cross-onshore. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind switches to cross-off and cleans it up, but the swell drops to 7 feet.
The real standout is Wednesday morning the 29th of July. Swell holds at 6 feet from the SSW, period is a solid 16 seconds, and the wind goes light and cross-off out of the west. Conditions are clean, energy is strong (1935). The forecast says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That 6 feet is a nice size, not too big, and the waves should have good shape. This is your best shot of the whole forecast.
After that, it drops quickly. Thursday the 30th is down to 4 feet, and by Friday the 31st we’re looking at 3 feet with onshore winds. The first week of August looks poor, with tiny waves around 1 feet to 2 feet and very little energy. There’s a brief moment on the afternoon of August 5th where the swell is tiny but the wind goes glass flat (1 feet, 20-second period, glassy) – but that’s a long-period groundswell for a beach and reef spot, so it’ll likely be too straight and want a point break.
The second week only offers a small bump around August 7th to 9th, with waves around 3 feet from the SSW, but the wind stays messy or onshore. Not much to get excited about. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
To sum it up, the one day to circle is Wednesday morning the 29th of July at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. Get on it. The rest is a long, flat run. That’s how it goes sometimes – won’t last forever.
