The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lettin’ ya know how it’s shakin’ out for Acapulquito–Costa Azul – that beach-and-reef spot. Water’s cookin’ at 89°, a full 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so skip the rubber. First few days are a slog: small, long-period SSW groundswells, but winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, killin’ the vibe. Saturday the 22nd morning has a clean 3ft SSW swell (16 seconds) with light offshore S wind and moderate energy (393), but this spot’s inconsistent and tides might mess with it – just a teaser. Sunday and Monday are write-offs. Then Tuesday the 25th morning sees a bump to 6ft SSW (11 seconds) with light offshore SSE wind and energy cranked up (997) – still only marginal, but you can feel it tryin’. Wednesday and Thursday stay rough. Then the real gem: Friday the 28th morning. The S wind goes glassy – dead calm – and a 4ft SSW groundswell with a solid 17-second period arrives, packin’ strong energy (1275). That’ll line up nice on the reef, and with zero wind, it’s gonna be clean, though that long period means you’ll wanna find the reef lines to keep waves from goin’ too straight. Solid intermediate stuff; beginners might find the 4ft a handful, and crowds are often in the water. That’s your best shot by a mile. After that, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th hold around 5ft but with cross-onshore or cross-off breezes, they’re less clean. There’s a tiny glass-off on Tuesday 1st September morning (2ft, 17-second SW, glassy) – a sneaky fun session for a longboard. Then it gets wild: Thursday 3rd September brings a 5–5ft SSW groundswell with very strong energy (2418–3441), but winds are onshore. Friday 4th through Saturday 6th September blows up into big, stormy surf (12–20ft) with gusty onshore winds – that’s expert-only chaos; the beach-and-reef setup will be a windblown mess, more for kite surfers than paddlers. So, point your truck at Friday the 28th morning for the cleanest, juiciest session, and maybe that tiny glass-off on the 1st for a mellow go-out. Rusty out.
