The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk what’s goin’ on, but brace yourself – it’s a lean run out at Acapulquito-Costa Azul, a beach and reef set-up that’s got south exposure. This spot’s inconsistent, and there’s a big dry spell of weak, messy surf before anything worth paddlin’ out for really shows up. Water temp’s about 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – over 5 degrees above the long-term average.
First couple weeks are mostly small and forgettable. You’re lookin’ at waves around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, with periods that bounce between 13 and 17 seconds. The combined swell energy runs between 344 and 670 – weak to moderate – and the wind’s all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, keepin’ things choppy and poor. None of it’s clean. Thursday the 14th of August is where you gotta lock in.
That Friday afternoon on the 14th of August, things finally line up. Swell bumps to 5ft from the SW with a 17-second period – proper groundswell energy – and the combined energy hits 1236 (moderate to strong). Wind goes glassy, and it’s rated excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best shot. Not for beginners – 5ft is gettin’ sizeable, and the long period (over 15 seconds) might make it wall up on the beach, but the reef should hold some gems. Expect some company, ‘cause it’s often busy here.
Saturday the 15th still has 5ft swell, but the wind turns onshore and it gets choppy again – a step down. After that, it trails off into small 2ft to 4ft SSW junk with cross-shore breezes and no real standouts. The last week is just flat and messy, with combined energy barely reachin’ 500. Not much to cheer about.
Bottom line: a long stretch of mediocrity with one sweet window. Get after that Friday the 14th afternoon.
Rusty out.
