The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’re looking at a 16-day window here, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s a bit of a slow burn. The surf kicks off on Tuesday, 28 July, but the first few days are a mixed bag. The real standout window is shaping up for the second week, so don’t write this one off just yet.

The main event is Acapulquito-Costa Azul (Mexico). This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the south swell. Water temps are sitting at a toasty 86°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a big anomaly, so expect bathwater conditions.

We start Tuesday morning, 28 July, with a solid 7 ft SSW swell running at a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, with the combined energy hitting 3454 (strong). But the wind is a light cross-onshore from the SW, so it’s a bit bumpy. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore breeze and still 6 ft of swell. This is your best early call – clean, punchy waves, but remember, 6 ft with that long period means it’ll be a bit full on for beginners. The afternoon is the pick of the first day.

Wednesday, 29 July, the swell drops to 5 ft. Morning is a bit crossed up, but the afternoon turns clean again with a cross-offshore breeze. Still decent, but not as powerful as Tuesday.

By Thursday, 30 July, we’re down to 4 ft, and the energy drops into the low thousands (1008–1180). Still clean in the afternoon, but the size is fading. Friday, 31 July, gets smaller again – 3 ft to 4 ft – and the wind gets messy. We’re now in a slow decline through the weekend and into the start of the next week.

From Saturday, 1 August, all the way through to Tuesday, 11 August, it’s mostly small and weak. Swell heights are below 3 ft, often around 1 ft to 3 ft, and the combined energy is mostly in the low hundreds (129–942). That’s a long stretch of flat to marginal conditions. There’s a brief flicker on Thursday, 6 August, with a very long 18-second period, but it’s only 1 ft – all period, no power. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout comes on Wednesday, 12 August. The morning kicks off with a 4 ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the NNW. That’s clean, glassy, and the energy is strong at 931. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is a legit call for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets even better: 4 ft SW swell, 17-second period, combined energy of 1040 (moderate-strong), and a light cross-offshore breeze. Clean, powerful, and lined up. The long period is perfect for this reef and river-mouth setup – it’ll hold the shape. This is the best day on offer. Crowds are “often” here, so expect some company.

Highlight: Wednesday, 12 August, is your golden ticket. The morning offshore session is the top pick.

Caveat: The rest of the run is very small. We’ve got a solid 10-day gap of weak, marginal surf from the 1st to the 11th. That’s a long lull, but it’s not unusual for the area. The consistent, quality setup arrives in the second week.

Stay patient, keep an eye on that Wednesday, and don’t bother with the flat spells. This is a strike-mission forecast.

Rusty.
