Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
Right from the start, Sunday the 5th, we’ve got some swell but don’t get too excited just yet. The ocean’s got some energy with a combined energy reading of 892, but conditions are a bit tricky. The water is sitting at 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a full 6° above average, so pretty unusual. The surf is coming in at around 4 ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period, which gives it some push, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy. The quality is marginal all through Sunday and into Monday.
Monday the 6th starts with similar vibes. Swell drops a touch to 4 ft, still that long-period groundswell, but the wind stays cross-onshore. Wave energy actually jumps up to 1242 on Monday morning, but the cross-onshore wind means it won’t be clean. Monday afternoon gets worse with a moderate cross-shore breeze, making it choppy.
Tuesday the 7th sees the swell build a bit. Morning is 5 ft with a long 18-second period, combined energy at 1386, but again, that cross-onshore wind messes with the face. By afternoon, it’s 5 ft and 1518 in energy, but the wind goes cross-shore with a moderate breeze, so the lineup will be a jumble.
This spot is inconsistent and exposed to the south swell with an optimum direction of S, but we’re seeing mostly SSW. The setup here is a beach and reef combo, which with this long-period swell can sometimes make it break a little too straight, but on a reef it could still offer a decent wall if you pick your tide. The crowds are often here, so expect company.
Now, if we look for the best windows, the first real standout? That’s Thursday July 16th afternoon. The swell drops to a tiny 2 ft, but the wind goes glassy – calm, from the SSW at 3 mph. Combined energy is 328, which is low, but when it’s glassy like that, even a small wave feels good. The period is 19 seconds, so it’s a clean little groundswell running through. For a small-wave board, that’s your moment. The Saturday before and after that is pretty poor.
Looking into the second week, Monday July 20th morning looks promising too. Another glassy morning, 3 ft from the SW, 16-second period, combined energy of 493. The wind is just a slight air from the SSW, so the surface will be smooth. That’s a gem if the swell fills in.
Honestly, this isn’t a blockbuster forecast. There’s a lot of marginal to poor conditions through most of the 16 days. The swell tops out around 5-5 ft but the wind always seems to be cross or cross-onshore. The consistent long period is nice for getting out, but the shape won’t be stellar. For beginners, once the swell gets over 5 ft it might feel big, and experts will find the 5 ft with chop just okay. The real glory is those glassy windows on the 16th and 20th.
No great run of days here, but the forecasts can always change – it’s just one of those spells where the ocean looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.
Rusty.
