The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
The first few days are a tough watch for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. Monday, August 3rd, has a tiny 2ft swell from the SW. The morning is glassy, but it’s just too small to get stoked on. The water is 87°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal – that’s a big anomaly, so expect that warm bathwater feel.
Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off with the same small swell and onshore or cross-shore winds. Thursday morning is still marginal with 2ft from the SW. Thursday afternoon the energy jumps to 481 (moderate) with an 18-second period from the SSW, but the cross-shore wind keeps it choppy.
Friday August 7th morning is the first decent look: 3ft of SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, offshore wind from the SSE, and energy at 642 (moderate). That’s your best bet for the first week, but it’s still a marginal call.
Saturday August 8th morning is similar: 4ft SSW, 16-second period, light offshore wind from the SE, energy at 630. It’s okay, but the afternoon turns cross-shore again.
The pattern stays small and messy through the middle of the week. The real standout is Saturday afternoon, August 15th. That morning shows 4ft from the SW at 16 seconds, but the afternoon is the gem: 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions with a light W wind. The energy is 716 (moderate) and the forecast calls for “very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to wait for, even though it’s a long way out.
Sunday August 16th afternoon is also clean with a cross-off wind and 3ft SSW, but it’s not as good as that Saturday.
Overall, it’s a long stretch of small, often messy surf. The highlight is Saturday August 15th afternoon. The rest is mostly marginal or poor. No big waves, just a waiting game.
Rusty.
