The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, and we’ll have to be patient.
The water is sitting at 85.3° right now, which is a solid 3.8° above the norm for this time of year. That’s noticeably warm, you’ll feel that difference.
The best window to really get excited about is a couple of weeks out. The standout session is on Thursday, 13 August in the afternoon. The swell is a clean 2.3ft coming from the SSW, with a period of 19 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is strong (665) and the forecast is for very good conditions. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Just keep in mind that with that long period, the waves might be a bit straight at the beach, but the reef elements here should handle it well.
Before that, we’ve got a few smaller windows. Sunday morning, 2 August is a close second. You’ll see a 2.6ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, light SSE wind that’s glassy, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (217). It’s a bit inconsistent here, so don’t expect set after set, but it’ll be fun.
The first week is a bit of a grind. Lots of days with cross-onshore or cross winds and small surf, but the swell does start to build from the 7th onwards. The morning of Saturday, 8 August sees a 3.6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the light cross-onshore wind keeps it rideable, even if it’s not perfect. The energy is strong (710). It’s a marginal call, but it’s worth a look if you’re keen.
The Thursday afternoon on the 13th is the real gem, though. That’s your best bet.
