The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking like a waiting game for the most part, but there’s a solid window of quality surf on the horizon if you’re patient.

Right out of the gate, the surf is pretty marginal. We’ve got some waist-high swell on Friday the 28th, but the wind is messy and there’s a chance of thunderstorms. The water is sitting at a very warm 87.4°, which is nearly 4.9° above the long-term average for this time of year, so it’s going to feel like a bathtub out there.

This poor run of form is set to continue through the weekend and into the start of next week. From Saturday the 29th all the way through to Tuesday the 3rd of September, the swell is inconsistent and the winds are mostly cross-shore or onshore, keeping the surf pretty chopped up and uninviting. The energy is mostly weak to moderate. It’s a bit of a dead stretch, more for the kite crew than anyone paddling.

We start to see a slight pulse on Wednesday the 3rd into Thursday, with the swell building to around 3.9ft to 4.6ft, but the conditions are still not great. The period is nice and long, up to 18 seconds, which shows there’s some proper groundswell out there. But the light onshore breezes are keeping it clean enough to be rideable. By Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, we’re still in that 4.3ft to 4.9ft range, but it’s inconsistent. Saturday morning on the 5th is the pick of that bunch, with a light cross-on breeze and still a touch of energy from the SSW.

Then things start to get interesting. On Monday the 8th of September, Acapulquito-Costa Azul (Acapulco) starts to wake up. The morning is looking glassy with a quick 3.9ft SSW swell. The afternoon is where it’s at, though, with the swell jumping to 7.2ft from the SSE and a light cross-off wind cleaning it right up. Moderate energy backs this up, and it’s looking like a proper fun session for the more experienced crew.

The standouts, without a doubt, are on Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the 10th. Tuesday morning brings a glassy 8.2ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, and the energy is really starting to pump. This is a big, powerful wave. It’s going to be too much for beginners, but for anyone who knows what they’re doing, this is the real deal. The wind is virtually nothing, which means it’ll be holding up clean. Wednesday morning sees the swell hold at a solid 8.2ft from the south, with a very long 14-second period. The energy jumps again to a strong reading, so there’s a lot of water moving.

These two days are the best on offer. The long period suggests a proper groundswell, and it’s best handled at a spot like this that has reef and beach sections. The crowd factor at Acapulquito is listed as "often", so expect plenty of company for these waves. After the 10th, the swell is still there but drops off, and the energy fades as we move into the second week. The period drops and the winds become less reliable, so it’s more of a back-to-normal, background swell situation. It’s those two days in the middle that are the ones to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on things, but it’s looking promising.

Alright, that’s the picture. Stay stoked.
