Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Right off the bat, I've gotta be straight with you – the next week to ten days are a write-off for any decent surfing. We're looking at a long, frustrating stretch of poor to marginal conditions at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. The swell is running small, between 2ft and 4ft, mostly out of the SSW, and it's coming with a cross-onshore wind almost the whole time. That's a recipe for choppy, bumpy, frustrating surf. The water temp is a crazy 85°, which is 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – you won't need anything more than boardshorts, that's for sure. But with the winds like they are, you're not gonna enjoy it. The combined wave energy is weak for most of this period, barely hitting 700 to 900 (weak to moderate), so there's no punch.
Now, we do finally see some hope for the morning of Monday, July 20th. That morning things flip. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we get a 4ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The wave energy climbs to a solid 1048 (moderate). This is the standout of the whole forecast. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That long period swell will wrap in with some nice, clean lines, but as I always say, a period that long at a beach-and-reef setup can sometimes break a bit too straight. Still, with zero wind, it's going to be a welcome relief and totally worth paddling out for.
You'll have a solid Tuesday, July 21st, too, with those morning and afternoon sessions looking glassy again, holding that 4ft swell. That's the sweet spot of the window. After that, the winds get messy again, and the swell drops off. Nothing in that second week really screams "drop everything and go." The bigger pulses of swell around July 16th and 17th are completely ruined by strong, lumpy winds, so don't get fooled by the bigger numbers on the forecast.
Honestly, for the next week, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially Saturday the 18th with that 28 mph cross-onshore. But stay patient. That glassy Monday morning on the 20th is your real target.
Rusty.
