The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we’re looking at a pretty underwhelming run for the Costa Azul area. The swell kicks in with some serious energy, but the conditions are a bit of a mixed bag. The standout is definitely Monday afternoon, July 27th. We’ve got a solid 7ft south swell, with a period of 14 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. That’s going to be your best bet for a well-shaped wave, with moderate energy. The water is absolutely roasting right now, a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 87°F. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be surfing in a bath.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, is the biggest of the swell, with a 10ft swell from the south-southwest, but it’s coming with a light cross-onshore wind. That’s a lot of water, and with that 16-second period, it’s a proper groundswell. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, that long period can make the waves a bit too straight and fast, so it’s really for the experienced crew. Beginners should steer clear of anything over 5ft, and this is definitely expert territory.
The rest of the week into early August is a bit of a letdown. You’ll see some smaller, cleaner windows in the afternoons, like Thursday July 30th with a 4ft swell and clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is dropping. Then from the 1st of August onward, the swell drops off hard. We’re looking at a long gap of several days with nothing but tiny, poor surf. The energy values drop off to weak levels.
There is a flicker of hope late in the forecast. Sunday afternoon, August 9th, we get a tiny 3ft swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is a glassy cross-offshore, and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s clean, but it’s small. Monday afternoon, August 10th, looks similar with a clean 2ft swell from the southwest, with a very long 19-second period. That’s a long wait for a clean, small wave. It’s promising but a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, don’t get your hopes up for a world-class session. The 27th and 28th of July are your best shots, but pick your lineup carefully.
Rusty.
