The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, checkin’ in with a look at what we’ve got on the way.
We’re looking at Acapulquito-Costa Azul, a beach and reef set-up that is a bit inconsistent but can fire when conditions line up. The water is sitting at a very warm 88°, which is a good 5° above normal – you’ll be sweating in your wettie, no doubt about that.
The window opens Monday afternoon with some real promise. We’ve got a glassy surface, a clean 3ft SSW swell wrapping in with a period around 14 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 569 – that’s moderate energy but with good shape. This is where I’d be. The wind is barely blowing, so expect clean, lined-up waves.
Tuesday sees the swell drop off a bit and the wind turns cross-onshore, making things messy. The morning is poor, the afternoon only marginal. Wednesday stays similar, cross-shore wind on small SW swell, nothing to get excited about.
Then Thursday, September 10, is the real standout. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW, period around 16 seconds, and glassy conditions both morning and afternoon. You are looking at very good surf with combined energy around 807 to 811 – moderate, but nicely formed. The glassy wind is a huge bonus. This is the best call of the whole period.
Friday, September 11, starts glassy again with 4ft SW swell and 515 energy, then turns offshore in the afternoon. Clean and fun. Saturday and Sunday drop off a bit in size but stay clean early, with glassy mornings and light winds. Come Monday and Tuesday of the second week, the quality starts to slide as cross-shore winds and moderate breezes mess up the texture.
There’s a patch in the middle of the second week where conditions are just marginal – mostly small swell and a bit of chop. But don’t write it off completely. By Saturday, September 19, we get a nice glassy morning again with 3ft SW swell and 578 energy, and that trend of clean mornings carries through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of the following week, with swell pushing back up to 4ft and combined energy hitting the 800s.
Best on offer: Thursday, September 10, glassy, 4ft SW, and great shape. That is the one to circle. For a backup, the Monday afternoon, September 7, also glassy and clean with 3ft.
This spot can be inconsistent, but when the glassy mornings align with some energy, it’s well worth the paddle.
Rusty.
