The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s been shaping up out there for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta tell you, it’s been a bit of a slow starter. The surf has been pretty marginal to start with, but there’s a real glimmer of hope on the horizon. The main spot we’re looking at is Acapulquito-Costa Azul, a beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the south-west swells. The water temp is sitting right around average for the time of year, nothing wild there.

The pattern starts off quiet. We’ve got a few days of small, messy conditions. Wednesday the 26th is a write-off with maybe 3 ft of swell from the SW and a cross-on breeze – not worth the paddle. Thursday the 27th is a little better with a clean early morning wind, but the waves are still small and the energy is weak. Friday the 28th sees a jump in size, up to 4 ft from the SSW, but the moderate cross-onshore wind is going to leave it chopped up and pretty average. Through the weekend, the swell builds a bit more, hitting 5 ft to 6 ft by Sunday the 30th. The combined energy is getting some real weight behind it by Saturday, but the wind is still a problem. It’s not clean.

Now, here’s the standout. The best session of the whole run looks like it’s shaping up for Monday the 31st of August. The morning is going to be a pearler – glassy conditions with zero wind, and a clean 5 ft swell from the SW. The wave energy is solid and the period is a reasonable 11 seconds. That’s going to be the pick of the whole stretch. The afternoon on Monday also cleans up with a light offshore from the NNW, keeping the lines tidy. If you can only get one session in, this is it.

After that, the first week of September rolls in with a mix of clean and messy. Tuesday the 1st has a clean afternoon with offshore winds, but the swell is down to 4 ft and the energy is only moderate. Wednesday the 2nd is a dud with poor surf conditions. There’s a real gap from Wednesday through to Friday the 4th, with the wind staying onshore and the swell getting messy. By Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, it’s back to small and jumbled.

Then, things get interesting again. The second week brings a couple of promising sessions. On Monday the 7th of September, the morning looks great with a light offshore NNW wind and a 3 ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a super long 20 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. It’s small, but for a longboard or a fish, the shape should be beautiful. The following day, Tuesday the 8th of September, the afternoon session is another standout. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the W, and the swell is 4 ft from the SW with a long 18-second period. The combined energy is strong, and the conditions are clean for experienced surfers. That’s a solid option.

The final few days see a bit more size, but the wind becomes a factor again. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell jumps to 6 ft from the SSW, but the wind is cross-on, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Still, the energy is high, and for the more experienced crew, it’s worth a look.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is hands-down Monday the 31st of August with that glassy, clean morning. If you miss that, target Tuesday the 8th of September for the clean afternoon. Everything else is a bit of a gamble or a smaller wave day.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.

Rusty.
