Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. The water's running a very unusual 84° – that's a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you're in for a warm one.

The first real chance to get wet is on Wednesday the 15th. The afternoon session is the pick of the early days, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the west at just 3 mph making for clean conditions. Swell is a modest 4 ft from the SSE, with a moderate combined energy of 502. It's a bit inconsistent here, so you'll need to be patient.

Thursday the 16th sees a drop in size, with the morning offering only 2 ft from the SE and a weak energy of 114. It's glassy though, so for a longboard or a funboard, it's worth a paddle. The afternoon gets a little weird – a 2 ft swell from the SW with a very long 19-second period, but it's glassy. That long period at a beach-and-reef break can make it break a bit straight, so don't expect perfection.

Things start to build through the weekend. Saturday the 18th afternoon has a 5 ft swell from the SW at 13 seconds, with energy jumping to 1067, but that cross-on wind from the SW keeps it a bit messy. Sunday the 19th morning has a long-period 4 ft swell from the SW at 17 seconds, with energy climbing to 1221, but it's onshore too.

The real standout, and the best on offer in the whole outlook, is Monday the 20th afternoon. The wind swings to a glassy SSW at 3 mph, and a 4 ft swell from the SW at 16 seconds rolls in with a strong energy of 932. The file says "expect very good surf conditions," and with clean, glassy conditions, that's the one to circle.

From Tuesday the 21st, the swell jumps up. You'll see 8 ft from the SSW most of the day, with energy blasting up to 2224. That's too big for beginners, and right on the edge for intermediates. Wind is cross-shore, so it's a bit lumpy, but for experienced surfers it's worth a look.

The rest of the week into the 24th and 25th keeps the size in the 5 ft to 7 ft range, with clean conditions on Friday the 24th morning and Saturday the 25th afternoon. Saturday the 25th afternoon is another highlight: 5 ft from the SSW at a very long 19 seconds, glassy NNW wind, and energy of 2148. The file says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That second week is looking promising, but less certain.

After that, the energy drops back through the 26th to the 30th, with mostly cross-on winds and smaller swell around 4 ft to 5 ft. Nothing flash, but a few clean windows if you're keen.

Rusty.
