The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next stretch. We're talking about Acapulquito-Costa Azul, a beach and reef setup that's a bit fickle.

First thing you need to know: this spot is rated as inconsistent, so don't expect a constant stream of waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a slow burn. The surf starts small on the 16th of September, with a 4 ft SSW groundswell, period hanging around 15-16 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at best. Winds are light and crossing, making for some rippled, average conditions. Not exactly firing.

Things stay pretty marginal through the 17th, 18th, and 19th. Swell drops off a bit, down to 3 ft on the 18th with a 19-second period, but that long period at a beach break means it might break a bit straight and be tricky. The wind is mostly light, but it’s coming from the wrong angles – onshore or cross-onshore.

We get a small window of improvement on the 21st of September. The morning is still marginal, but by Monday afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-offshore (5 km/h), and the outlook cleans up. Swell is 4 ft from the SW (17 seconds). The energy is still moderate, but the quality jumps up. That's a decent window for a paddle.

The real standout of this whole forecast is Tuesday, the 22nd of September. Both the morning and afternoon are looking glassy with a 4 ft SW swell and a 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate, and we get that rare, clean, glassy surface. For an inconsistent spot like this, when the wind goes flat and you've got a solid waist-to-chest high groundswell running, that’s your best bet. It won't be huge, but it'll be clean and fun for the intermediate crew.

After that, the 23rd and 24th keep that glassy vibe going in the afternoons, but the swell starts to drop back to 3 ft. The 24th has a calm, glassy morning too, so you could squeeze out another session.

Then the wheels come off. From the 25th of September and all the way through the 1st of October, it’s a slow decline into poor conditions. The wind gets strong and onshore, the combined energy drops into the weak zone, and the swell gets small and jumbled. The 28th, 29th, and 30th of September are particularly rough – strong, choppy, and not worth the paddle. That’s a long run of flat-to-poor days.

So, bottom line: if you want the best of it, mark your calendar for Tuesday, the 22nd of September. It's the cleanest, most promising day in an otherwise marginal stretch. Get on it while the getting’s good.

Rusty.
