Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the stretch ahead for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.

First off, the next couple of days are pretty grim. The swell’s weak and disorganized, and the wind is mostly wrong. We’ve got a long, flat spell to get through, so don’t even bother waxing up until we get to Sunday morning.

Sunday, August 2nd is our first real glimmer of hope. The wind is set to go dead glassy, and we’ve got a small but clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate, at 266. It’s not going to be big, and it’s definitely inconsistent, but on a glassy day, those few waves that do roll through will be worth the wait. This is the one to be out for if you just need to get wet.

After that, the week slips back into mostly poor, weak surf with onshore winds and small, messy waves. We’re looking at a lot of 1ft to 2ft dribble. There are a few moments with clean conditions, but the lack of swell makes it hard to get excited.

The swell finally starts to wake up around Friday, August 7th. We see a bump to 3ft, and the period jumps to a very long 17 seconds. This is proper groundswell energy with a reading of 679. But the wind is going to mess with it. The mornings are looking light cross-onshore with ripples, and afternoons have a cross-off breeze with more energy at 592. It’s going to be a bit lumpy, but there’s real power in the water for the first time.

The standout of the whole window, though, has to be Thursday morning, August 13th. The forecast says we’re getting glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW swell at a 16-second period. The combined energy is a solid 577! This is about as clean as it gets for this spot. The winds will be absolutely dead, and that long-period swell will be wrapping in with some real push. The morning is the call – it's going to be smooth, lined up, and the best quality surf of the entire period. It’s still small enough for most, but that period means it won’t feel weak.

The following Saturday, August 15th, shows a bit more size at 4ft, but the onshore wind will make it messy. Stick with the Thursday morning glass.

Alright, that’s the picture. It’s a slow start, but if you’re patient, there are a couple of windows of clean fun to be had. This is a spot that needs the conditions to line up.

Stay salty.
