The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a bit of a slow burn for the next 16 days at Acapulquito-Costa Azul (beach and reef). The swell is there, but it’s not really firing until we get into the second week. The wave energy is moderate to strong, with a combined energy reading of 1704 on Wednesday the 29th, but it’s paired with some tricky winds and that "marginal" tag. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
The pick of the week is actually Thursday afternoon, the 30th of July. The swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds, giving us some real shape. The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, which will keep it clean. The wave energy is still moderate (805). It’s not huge, but it’s the cleanest you’ll get in the early run. The break is inconsistent and often crowded, so don’t expect a secret session, but the quality is the best on offer.
From Friday the 31st through to the end of the first week, the swell drops and the wind gets messy. The heights fall from 4 ft down to 2 ft, and the energy drops into the low hundreds. It’s a real lull. Then there’s a gap of nearly a week with very little to recommend.
The standout actually comes much later: Wednesday afternoon, the 12th of August. The swell pushes back up to 3 ft from the SW with a 16-second period, which is a proper groundswell. The wind is glassy (SW at 3 mph), and the wave energy is strong (627). That’s the one to aim for. It’s still a beach and reef setup, so the long period (over 15 seconds) might make it a bit straight at the beach, but the glassy conditions and solid energy make it the best of the whole forecast. Keep in mind the break is inconsistent, so it’s a gamble, but a good one.
Take it easy, and keep your eyes on that second week.
