The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. We’ve got a couple of fun windows early on at Acapulquito-Costa Azul, but we’re looking at a bit of a tease before the ocean kind of forgets how to wave. The first real push is Saturday morning, and honestly, that's the standout of the whole run. A solid 5ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy. That’s groundswell, pure and simple, and it's got some serious energy behind it – combined energy is sitting at 1560, which is strong. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird there. That Saturday morning is for the experienced crew, though – it’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, but when it lines up, it’ll be worth the paddle.

Saturday afternoon, the wind swings around to a cross-off and the swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the energy is still solid at 1434. It’s still clean, but the score dips a bit, so it’s not the same magic.

Sunday and Monday mornings are still rideable, with 4ft and 4ft of SSW swell, but the wind gets a bit funky on Sunday – cross-shore, not ideal. Monday morning goes glassy again, but the swell has dropped to 4ft, and the energy is dropping too, down to 854. It’s still fun, but we're heading the wrong way.

Then we hit the wall. From Monday afternoon onward, it’s a slow grind down. The swell drops below 3ft, the periods get messy, and the wind turns cross-onshore or stays cross. There’s a stretch from the 8th all the way through the 14th where it’s just marginal, poor, or flat. The energy numbers fall off a cliff – getting down into the 200s and 300s from the 12th onward. That’s not surf, that’s just a seaway.

There’s a little glimmer mid-period – on the 15th morning it goes glassy again with 2ft of SW swell, and the 17th morning is back to glass with 3ft, but the energy is still weak-moderate, in the 400-500 range. The 17th afternoon is interesting – the period jumps way up to 21 seconds, and the energy jumps to 894, but the swell is still only 3ft. That’s a very long period groundswell, which can be a bit too straight for a beach break, but might wrap okay on the reef. It’s promising, but it's a week and a half out, so don’t book your flights yet.

The bottom line: Saturday morning is the one. After that, it’s a lot of padding and hoping. The second week is thin, inconsistent, and you’ll be scratching for anything waist-high. It’s not going to be a classic run. If you’re not out there Saturday morning, you might as well find something else to do.

Until next time,
Rusty
