Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.

Alright folks, the outlook for Acapulquito-Costa Azul (Acapulquito-Costa Azul) is a real mixed bag. We've got some serious potential on the horizon, but you'll have to be patient and pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 89°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – a solid 6° above normal, so it's a real bath.

The first few days are pretty grim. Sunday the 23rd is a write-off with small, choppy, poor surf. Monday the 24th shows a slight bump in size to 5ft from the SSW, but it's marginal and the wind is messing with it. Tuesday the 25th afternoon is a bit of a tease, with a glassy 2ft from the SW, but it's so small you'd be lucky to get a ride. The rest of that week is mostly onshore or choppy, with nothing to get excited about. We're looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations.

Now, hold onto your boards. Monday the 31st of August is where things start to get interesting. The morning is looking glassy with a clean 6ft SSW swell. That's a solid, fun size for an intermediate, but it's just over the 5ft mark, so beginners might find it a bit challenging. The wind is dead calm, making it glassy. The combined swell energy is 1475, which is moderate. That's a solid session.

But the real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Monday the 7th of September. This is a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but if it comes together, it's going to be epic. The morning is calling for a glassy 16ft SE swell with a period of 14 seconds. That's a huge, powerful groundswell with very long periods. The combined energy is a massive 9461 – that's strong to very strong wave energy. This is expert territory only. It's too big for anyone but the most experienced. The long period and direction from the SE will be hitting this exposed spot, but a beach and reef setup can get a bit unruly with that much power. The afternoon of that same day is forecast for 23ft, which is just enormous and probably too big for this break, so you'd want to be out there early when it's glassy. The afternoon wind picks up and makes it choppy anyway.

A couple of other days are worth a mention. The 1st of September is looking at a 8ft SSE swell with glassy conditions in the afternoon, but that's also getting into expert-only territory. The 6th of September morning has a 8ft from the SE with a light cross-shore, but it's a moderate energy day compared to the 7th.

So, to sum it up: the wait is long, but the payoff could be huge. The morning of the 7th of September is the big one. The 31st of August morning is your best bet for a solid, fun session without the life-threatening size. Get out there.

Rusty.
