Table - best surf conditions forecast for Acapulquito-Costa Azul over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
First off, we’re staring down a dry spell. The water’s warm – about 86°F, which is a solid 8°F above normal – so you’ll be comfortable, but the surf is a no-show. From now through the first week of July, the waves are tiny, weak, and blown out. Thursday the 9th brings a 4ft swell from the SSW (combined energy 790), but the wind is onshore and the surf is poor – leave your board in the car.
The first real sign of life hits on Thursday morning, July 16th. A 5ft SSE swell with a 12-second period (combined energy 915) shows up with light onshore wind, keeping things rideable. It gets slightly bigger in the afternoon at 6ft (combined energy 1097). Still, it’s only marginal.
Your best window by far is Monday, July 20th. The swell drops to 4ft from the SW, but the period stretches to 16 seconds (combined energy 1353), and conditions are totally glassy in the morning – flat water, clean lines. It’s excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore breeze. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, the surf fades into smaller, weaker waves. Looking way ahead to Thursday, July 24th, there’s another small clean pulse: 4ft from the S (combined energy 441) with glassy offshore wind in the morning. It’s worth a look, but it’s a long way out.
So here’s the take: You’ve got a lot of waiting to do. The 20th is your winner – glassy, long-period, and solid. The 16th is a decent second. Everything else is slim pickings.
