The Lowdown

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

Overall, the pattern is pretty slow to start. We’re looking at a stretch of mostly small, messy, onshore-affected surf for the first week or so. The water is running at 85°F right now, which is a solid 6°F above normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, water feels like bathwater.

The first real day worth paddling out won’t come until the 23rd of July, so there’s a gap of about a week and a half of pretty poor conditions before we get something decent. For the early part, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the energy is low. The 18th of July sees a bump in size – 6ft from the SW at 12 seconds – but the wind is onshore and the energy is moderate (1161), so it’s still a bit of a mess. The 21st and 22nd have some bigger swell (up to 8ft), but the wind is still cross-onshore or cross, and the quality is poor.

Now, the standout window. The best surf on offer is on Thursday 23rd July and Friday 24th July at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. On the 23rd, Thursday afternoon, we’ve got a solid 7ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and the wind goes glassy – totally clean. That’s a big, powerful groundswell, and with that period, the waves will have good shape and energy. Combined energy is strong (1721). This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s well over 8ft. Friday morning, the 24th, is also a ripper: 5ft from the WSW at 13 seconds, glassy again, with clean conditions. Energy is still strong (1092). This is a bit more manageable for strong intermediates.

The break is a beach-and-reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient for the sets. The optimum swell direction is from the S, and we’re getting SW/WSW, so it’s not perfect, but the glassy wind and solid size make it the clear pick. Expect crowds often.

After that, the 25th and 26th offer some cleaner, smaller waves (4ft to 4ft, long period 19 seconds) with okay wind, but the energy is still moderate. Not a standout, but a backup if you missed the window.

Rusty.
