The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Straight up, this is a tricky one for the next two weeks at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. The first few days are a write-off, so don’t bother paddling out until at least Monday afternoon. Before that, we’ve got a mix of onshore winds and messy conditions, with a score of zero on the Saturday. The gap from now until Monday morning is basically dead.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Monday afternoon, 20 July. The swell is a solid 4.3ft from the SSW, and the wind is coming off the land from the WNW, making it clean. The energy is pumping at a solid 1249, and for the experienced surfer, this is where it’s at. Keep in mind this spot is a beach and reef set-up, and it’s known to be inconsistent, so don’t expect perfection. Crowds are often around here, too.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the Saturday morning on 25 July. Glassy conditions, a light SE breeze barely ruffling the water, and a clean 3.9ft SW swell with a long, quality period of 20 seconds. The energy is strong (1860), and it’s a proper groundswell. This long period stuff will wrap around the reef better than the beach, so look for the peaks. This is the best on offer.
The following week has some size, but it’s mostly plagued by cross-onshore winds. The swell gets up to 7.5ft on Tuesday 21 July, but it’s choppy, not the clean lines you want. That’s expert territory anyway, and not well presented. After the 25th, the consistent SW groundswell keeps rolling through, but the wind is a constant battle. The Sunday morning on 26 July looks okay with a 4.6ft SW swell and glassy early, but by the afternoon the wind picks up.
For the last few days of July, the swell drops off. Friday 31 July morning is poor, but the afternoon turns clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, even if the swell is only 2.6ft. Then the first of August starts with a glassy morning, same small 2.6ft swell. It’s clean, but barely a ripple.
Overall, set your clock for Monday afternoon and that Saturday morning. The rest is a gamble.
