Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Acapulquito-Costa Azul over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water is a steamy 86°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s notable – it’s much warmer than normal, so you’ll be surfing in bathwater.

The real standout is Wednesday, July 29th, in the morning. We’ve got a solid 5ft groundswell from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is glassy, coming light from the SW at just 3 mph. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1704, which is strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – the swell is pushing over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, but the conditions will be clean, with that long-period energy wrapping in nicely. This is the best session on offer, no question.

The afternoon of the 29th sees the wind picking up to 13 mph from the WNW, which is a cross-offshore breeze, keeping it clean. The swell drops a little in period to 15 seconds, but energy is still high at 1475. It’s surfable, but the morning is the magic window.

Moving into Thursday, July 30th, the swell drops to 4ft in the morning with onshore wind from the S at 6 mph, making it a bit bumpy. The afternoon improves with a cross-offshore breeze from the W at 9 mph, and the swell is 4ft with a 14-second period. It’s clean, but not as punchy as Wednesday.

From Friday, July 31st, through the first week of August, the surf steadily fades. The swell drops under 3ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, with plenty of “poor conditions” in the data. There’s a few afternoons with a cross-offshore wind, but the wave height is too small to get excited about – we’re talking 2ft to 3ft. The combined energy drops into the 100-400 range, which is weak. It’s a bit of a flat spell, honestly.

The second week doesn’t offer much more. The swell stays small, generally under 3ft, with most days showing marginal or poor conditions. The wind is often light, but the wave energy is just too low to bother with.

Then, on Tuesday, August 11th, there’s a glimmer. The morning shows 4ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is glassy again from the ESE at 3 mph. The combined energy is 903, which is moderate. The long period means it’ll be walled-up and tricky at a beach break, but if the lineup is right, it could be a fun, clean session. It’s a promising call, but we’re over a week out, so treat it as a hopeful whisper.

Overall, the best bet is absolutely Wednesday, July 29th, morning. After that, you’re waiting for that August 11th morning window, but it’s a long shot at this range.

Stay salty,
Rusty
