The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipeline for us over the next couple of weeks.

The next week or so is going to be a bit of a slow burn, with small, clean conditions building into something a lot more serious towards the very end. We’ve got a long stretch of manageable, fun-sized waves, but the real standout is shaping up to be a solid pulse of energy for the last weekend and into the following Monday. That’s where the excitement is.

Right now, for Sunday the 13th, it’s tiny with a 2ft swell from the SW, but it’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze. The water is sitting at a very warm 89°, which is 7° above normal – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year. The energy is moderate (380). It’s a start.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th stay small, around 2ft to 3ft, with light cross-shore breezes and marginal conditions. The swell is long-period (16-19 seconds), which means there’s some quality in the water, but just not enough size to get excited about. Energy stays moderate (405-630).

By Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, things start to perk up a little. Wave heights nudge up to 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, and we get some glassy mornings with light southerly winds. That’s a recipe for clean, fun waves. The energy is building into moderate to strong territory (673-752). This is your best bet for a quiet, user-friendly session.

Friday the 18th through Saturday the 19th stays in that 2ft to 3ft range, still clean on the mornings and afternoons, but nothing special.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 20th through Tuesday the 22nd is a really consistent run of mornings with glassy conditions and 3ft to 4ft SSW swell. The energy is strong (762-851). This is the sweet spot for the first week – consistent, clean, and uncrowded.

The real standout, however, is a monster pulse arriving on Sunday the 27th of September. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSE, and by Monday the 28th, we’re looking at a solid 8ft to 10ft from the S/SSW. The energy readings are massive – over 2000 to 3000 (2034-3120). This is for experienced surfers only; over 8ft is expert territory. The winds are forecast to be glassy or offshore, so the quality should be top-notch. Because the period is around 14 seconds, this is a groundswell that will work well at our setup here.

Bear in mind, Acapulquito-Costa Azul is an inconsistent break, so this two-week run of surf is a bit of a rare treat. It’s a beach and reef setup, so when it gets big like that, it may actually be more interesting for kite surfing than a standard paddle session.

Overall, get in the water from Wednesday the 16th to Tuesday the 22nd for the cleanest small waves, and mark your calendar for Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th for the big, powerful stuff – if you’ve got the skills.

Rusty.
