The Lowdown
Righto, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what’s coming up for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, the first real chance of anything decent doesn’t kick off until Sunday the 6th. Before that, Thursday the 3rd through to Saturday the 5th is pretty average—waves are there but the wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making things messy. The swell’s around 5 ft to 8 ft, but with short periods and a lot of chop, it’s not really worth paddling out for unless you’re just desperate for a stretch.
Sunday the 6th is where it starts to get interesting. The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms, but a light NW wind turns cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. You’ve got a 6 ft swell from the WSW with a solid 12-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1387—that’s proper push. For experienced surfers, this is a standout session. The water temp is sittin’ at 88° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit.
Monday the 7th morning keeps that clean cross-off wind from the west, with a 5 ft swell still holding good shape from the WSW. It’s a little smaller but the conditions are still sweet. That’s your second-best window if Sunday doesn’t work.
After Monday, the surf drops off a cliff. From Tuesday the 8th all the way through to about Friday the 18th, it’s mostly small, weak, and choppy—lots of days with combined energy under 1000, and wind that’s either cross-on or just messy. There’s a brief tease on the afternoon of Friday the 18th where a 4 ft SW swell with a long 19-second period and light offshore wind from the west gives clean waves. Combined energy hits 1137, and the report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a solid, glassy option if you’ve got the patience to wait it out.
But if you want the absolute best of the whole run, it’s Sunday the 6th afternoon at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. That’s the one. Crowds are often here, so you’ll have company, but the wave quality will be worth sharing it for.
Rusty.
