The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf isn’t really asking to be ridden just yet. The first real window that catches my eye kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, August 12th over at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. We’re looking at a small, long-period swell from the SW pushing in at about 3ft, but the real story is that wind going glassy. That’s a rare treat—clean, smooth conditions that’ll make even the smaller waves feel worth paddling out for, especially for the intermediate crew. The water is sitting at 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’re in for a tropical bath.

Then, Thursday afternoon, August 13th gets even better. The swell holds around 3ft from the SW, but the period is a solid 15 seconds, and the wind switches to a light cross-offshore breeze. That combination means clean, lined-up waves with a bit of push. The wave energy is moderate (698), so there’s some life in the water. This is a standout for me.

The next real highlight rolls in on Sunday afternoon, August 16th. The swell picks up a touch to 4ft from the SW, period at 14 seconds, and once again we get glassy conditions. Very clean surf, the kind where you’re just trading waves with your mates. The energy is modest (532), but the quality will make up for it.

If you’re looking for a bigger push, Friday afternoon, August 14th sees the swell jump to 5ft from the SW with a 17-second period. That’s a groundswell with some serious grunt—strong energy reading at 1214. It’s not huge, but for this break, that’s the most size you’ll see. The wind is light and cross-shore, so expect a little texture on the face, but nothing ruinous. It’s a good call for someone who wants a bit more power under their feet.

After that, the size drops back down below 3ft for the rest of the run. There are a few glimmers—like Monday morning, August 24th with another glassy session (2ft, 16-second period, SW)—but nothing that really screams “drop everything and go.”

Overall, the best windows are the afternoons of August 13th and August 16th. Clean conditions, small but fun swell, and the water is like bathwater. The rest of the period is marginal, with a lot of cross-onshore chop or just too small to get excited about. Don’t expect any big barrels here—this is a spot for cruising and enjoying the ride.

Rusty.
