Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lined up for Acapulquito-Costa Azul over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is not a classic run. The first swell we see is Saturday the 11th, but it’s a pretty average start. We’ve got a long-period groundswell from the SSW around 4ft, but the wind is a bit messy and the energy is moderate (771). The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year. It’s a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent, and it can get crowded – so don’t expect much.
Sunday the 12th is similar, with a touch less height and a morning glass-off that’s worth a look if you’re keen for a paddle. It’s still very marginal, though. Monday and Tuesday drop off a fair bit, with swell dropping under 3ft, and the energy fading (389 to 533). There’s not much to get excited about.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are a bit of a write-off. The swell picks up to 6ft on Thursday, but it’s from the SSE with moderate onshore winds, making it choppy. The energy is strong (1156-1303), but the quality is poor. By Friday the 17th, we get a solid 10ft-12ft S swell, but it’s accompanied by thunderstorms and strong cross to cross-onshore winds. That’s big, messy, and borderline dangerous for the average surfer – it’s more of a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day.
The following week is a mixed bag. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th offer some cleaner conditions with light winds and a drop in size to 4ft-5ft. The energy is still moderate (1182-1010), and the swell direction is from the SSW, which is a good match for the spot. It’s not world-class, but it’s the most surfable window in the first week.
Now, here’s the standout. If you can wait, Saturday the 25th is your day. The morning is glassy, with a 5ft WSW swell and a solid 12-second period. The energy is strong (1266) and the conditions are clean. The afternoon is even better for a change – a 3ft long-period groundswell from the SSW, 19 seconds, with light offshore wind. That’s a rare, clean, and lined-up option for a reef-point setup like this. It’s the best on offer, but remember this spot is inconsistent, so a day like that is a gift.
The last few days of the outlook fade back to small, marginal conditions. Overall, it’s a slow start, a rough middle, and a promising finish. Keep an eye on that Saturday the 25th.
Rusty.
