The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the 16-day window for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. Honestly, it’s a mixed bag with a lot of marginal days, but we’ve got a couple of windows that’ll get your attention. The water’s sitting at 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be in for a warm session.
The first real standout hits on Wednesday, 12 August. Early morning, it’s glassy – dead calm – with a 3 ft SSW swell, period a solid 16 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 501. That’s clean, long-period groundswell, and with the offshore wind direction from the SW, it’ll be a treat. This break is a beach-and-reef setup, and that long period might make it a bit straight at times, but the glassy conditions make up for it. Crowds are often here, so you’ll have company.
Then Thursday, 13 August afternoon, another glassy session rolls in. Same 3 ft SW swell, 15-second period, with a higher combined energy of 597 (moderate). The wind swings to WNW at 6 mph, glassy again, so it’ll be clean and fun. Not the biggest waves, but the quality is there.
Looking further out, Friday, 14 August afternoon picks up a bit – 4 ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and combined energy of 1008, which is strong. But the wind is cross-shore at 6 mph, so it’s not as clean. Still, that’s a decent swell if you’re keen.
The rest of the window is mostly marginal or poor, with cross-onshore winds and chop. The 22 August afternoon offers a 2 ft glassy session, but it’s small. There’s a long gap from mid-August with no real standouts, so make the most of that Wednesday and Thursday.
Rusty signing off.
