Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at you from the coast. Let's get real about the surf.

First off, I gotta be honest with you. The next few days are a bit of a grind. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft. There's some energy moving through, but it's pretty weak. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a wild 5° warmer than usual for this time of year—that's a bath, folks. For the first few days, it's all about very small, weak surf and a lot of cross-onshore breezes. Not much to write home about.

We do have a glimmer on Monday, August 3rd. The morning session at Acapulquito-Costa Azul is looking clean with a zephyr of a south wind and glassy conditions. The swell is only 2ft from the SW with a long 13s period, and the combined energy is a moderate 140. It's not a standout by any means, but it's the best we've got for a few days. The water is still that crazy warm 86°.

The run of small, poor surf continues through the first week. There's a lot of cross and onshore wind, and the swell barely ticks up. It's a tough stretch.

Now, look ahead to Thursday, August 13th. That's the real standout here. The forecast is calling for a solid morning with glassy, offshore winds from the SSW at just 3 mph. Swell is 3ft from the SW with a long 15s period, and the combined energy is a strong 588. It's going to be clean, with very good surf conditions. The afternoon session looks even better with the same glassy wind and a 2ft SW swell but with a super long 19s period, pushing the energy up to 635. This is the one to circle on the calendar if you can get out there.

The following morning, Friday, August 14th, sees a bigger bump in size, hitting 4ft from the SSW with a period of 18s. The energy spikes to a strong 1107, but it's coming with a light onshore wind. It's a trade-off. That's a lot of juice, but it won't be as clean as the day before.

The weekend of the 16th and 17th looks like a return to smaller, more marginal conditions. The glassy morning on Sunday, August 16th, with 3ft SSW swell and a 15s period, offers a final clean, small-wave window, but the energy is back down to 509.

Honestly, for the first week, you're mostly waiting for a winner. The best bet is the glassy, clean conditions on Thursday, August 13th. That's your standout. After that, it's a bit of a mixed bag again.

Later, Rusty.
