The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Acapulquito-Costa Azul. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to south swell. The water is 86°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’re looking at a warm bath out there.

No surf to start with. The first real chance hits Tuesday afternoon, July 21st. That’s a 6ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s marginal. The wave energy is strong at 1251, but it’s not clean.

The standout is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. Glassy, dead calm wind, and a 6ft SW swell with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate at 932, but the conditions are perfect. The wave comment says expect very good surf. This is the session to aim for. Crowds are often here, so get in early.

Wednesday afternoon stays clean with a 4ft SW swell, cross-off wind, and energy at 773. Still good, just smaller.

Thursday morning, July 23rd, is small at 2ft, but with a super long 13-second period and glassy conditions. Energy is weak at 276. Fine for a longboard.

From Thursday afternoon onward, the wind turns messy. The swell builds but gets chopped up. Friday July 24th afternoon has a 4ft SW swell with a very long 21-second period, but cross-on wind ruins it. Energy jumps to 1276, but it’s more for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Late July brings big swell – 8ft to 12ft from the SSW – but with onshore winds and poor conditions. The energy hits 4194 on July 30th, but it’s only for experts and it’s ugly.

The next clean window is Friday morning, July 31st. Glassy, 5ft from the WSW with a 10-second period, and energy at 849. The wave comment says expect very good surf. It’s your second-best option.

August 1st Saturday morning is glassy again with a 3ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, energy at 497. Nice for a mellow session.

From August 2nd onward, the surf drops off. Swell under 3ft, onshore winds, low energy. Nothing worth paddling for.

So, the best is Wednesday July 22nd morning. Friday July 31st morning is your backup. After that, it’s a long wait.

A general guide to surfing at Acapulquito-Costa Azul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Acapulquito-Costa Azul may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
