The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here, giving you the rundown for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. A beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent – the surf pops up and drops off, and when it comes, it’s a nice little window.
We start off on Sunday the 13th with a little glimmer. Water temp is a very warm 89°, much warmer than normal. The groundswell is 2 ft from the SW, with a 13-second period, combined energy moderate (321). The morning is glassy with a light offshore breeze, so super clean.
Monday the 14th is a miss – the wind blows onshore and cross-shore, ruining the 2 ft SW swell. Not worth getting wet.
Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy again with 2 ft SSW, then a clean 2 ft SW in the afternoon with an offshore wind. Energy builds into strong territory (588). Good combo.
Wednesday the 16th morning is a standout: 3 ft SSW swell, glassy, strong energy (636). Beginner friendly as it’s under 5 ft.
Thursday the 17th morning is another classic – 3 ft SSW, glassy, with strong energy (753) and a 14-second period giving long lines.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are average – around 3-3 ft with cross/onshore winds. Cleaner on Saturday afternoon but nothing special.
Sunday the 20th offers 3 ft SW with light cross-off winds – clean but average.
Monday the 21st is the top pick. Morning is dead calm and glassy, with 4 ft SW swell at 17 seconds – a very long groundswell – and combined energy is very strong (962). The 17-second period will peel perfectly on this reef and point. Expect crowds as it’s often busy.
Tuesday the 22nd also stays glassy all day, 4 ft SW swell, strong energy – another top day.
Wednesday the 23rd sees a return to glassy after a cross-onshore morning, with 4 ft SW and 14-second period.
Thursday the 24th evening is glassy calm, with 3 ft SW swell and strong energy (571). Good.
From Friday the 25th into the weekend, smaller waves – 3 ft and under, with light winds. Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th finish with 2 ft to 2 ft SW swell, glassy to clean, but only moderate energy.
Overall, the real standouts are Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd – glassy, long-period SW groundswell with very strong energy. That’s your window.
Rusty.
