The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got some solid energy building for the weekend. The standout window is Wednesday morning, the 29th of July. That’s the one to circle. Before that, Saturday the 25th has some fun waves, but it’s the middle of next week that’s got me proper excited.

Saturday, July 25th – We kick off with a solid SSW groundswell, 4 ft at 20 seconds. That’s proper long-period energy, which means the waves will have some real push and shape, though with those long gaps between sets. The water is 87° – that’s a whopping 6° warmer than usual, which is very unusual. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is strong (1405). This is a good one for intermediate surfers. The break is a beach and reef setup, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. The crowd situation is likely here, so expect some company.

Sunday, July 26th – Swell ticks up a touch to 5 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and gets stronger. It’s a bit more mixed, not as clean as Saturday. The energy is still solid (1507-1810), but the quality takes a hit.

Monday, July 27th – The swell is 5 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is cross-on to cross-shore and choppy. The energy is ramping up (2563-3138), but the conditions are messy. Not the best call.

Tuesday, July 28th – Still some size around 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is still a bit of a problem. The morning has a light cross-on breeze, but it cleans up in the afternoon with a cross-off wind. The energy is strong (2886-3107).

Now, for the standout – Wednesday, July 29th. This is the pick of the forecast. The morning is a beauty. We’ve got a 10 ft SSW swell, with a period of 15 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell with serious power. The combined energy is very strong (3615). But the best part? The wind is glassy. Absolutely glassy. It’s an offshore wind direction, light air, and the report says “glassy”. This is going to be clean, powerful, and well-shaped. At 10 ft, this is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. The break is a beach and reef setup, so that long-period swell will wrap nicely. Given the crowds are listed as “often”, expect a lineup, but the quality will be worth it.

Thursday, July 30th – Drops back to 5 ft-6 ft. The wind is light and cross-off in the afternoon, keeping it clean. Moderate energy (1357-1423). A decent option if you missed Wednesday.

Friday, July 31st – Drops further to 3 ft-4 ft with onshore and cross-shore winds. The energy is fading (622-816). Not worth the paddle.

Saturday, August 1st through Tuesday, August 5th – This is a long gap with poor surf. Swell drops to below 3 ft, winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak (less than 500). The waves are small and sloppy. Not much to report for over a week.

Wednesday, August 5th – A late spike appears. The swell jumps to 12 ft-13 ft, but it’s a short-period ESE windswell (9 seconds). The combined energy is strong (1993-2725), but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. The period is short, so the waves will be lumpy and disorganized. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s big, but messy.

Thursday, August 6th – The swell drops fast to 4 ft-5 ft, with a short period (7 seconds) and weak energy (278-527). The wind is a bit better, but the waves are just small and weak.

Friday, August 7th to Sunday, August 9th – The surf fades out completely. Swell under 3 ft, very weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. Not worth the wet suit.

So to sum it up: Wednesday morning, July 29th at Acapulquito-Costa Azul is the absolute standout. Get out there early for glassy, 10 ft groundswell. Saturday the 25th is your next best bet for a clean, manageable session. After that, we’ve got a long lull until the 5th, but that’s more for the wind sports crew.

Stay salty.
Rusty
