Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Acapulquito-Costa Azul (Mexico). We've got a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a solid window of clean surf in there if you pick your moments.

The forecast kicks off with a bit of a slow start on Wednesday the 22nd. Swell is around 6ft from the SW, but the wind is a cross-on from the SSW, making it a bit average. The combined energy is moderate at 949. The afternoon cleans right up though, going glassy with 4ft SW swell. That's a nice little session, but nothing huge. The water temp is a very unusual 86°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.

Now, Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are pretty quiet. The swell drops away and the winds are messy. Nothing to write home about.

The standout window starts to open up on Saturday the 25th. The morning has 4ft SSW swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and the energy is getting up there at 1342. The afternoon gets even better. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the SSW, with a period of 19 seconds, giving it some real grunt. The energy is strong at 2126. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, making for excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is a proper session for anyone who knows what they're doing.

Sunday the 26th is also a cracker. The morning is glassy with 5ft SSW swell and a very long period of 18 seconds, energy at 1512. That's a top-quality morning, but heads up, that long-period groundswell can be a bit straight at beach breaks, so look for the points. The afternoon holds up size-wise but the wind goes cross-shore, making it a bit bumpy.

Monday the 27th builds in size. The morning is 5ft but the wind is cross-on, so it's not ideal. The afternoon jumps to 8ft from the SSE, with a massive energy of 3329. This is getting into the expert-only territory, but the wind is a light cross-on, so it's still surfable for the brave.

Tuesday the 28th sees the swell peak at 8ft from the S. The morning wind is clean onshore, but the afternoon gets a moderate cross-shore breeze at 12 mph, making it a bit messy. This is still big, powerful surf.

From Wednesday the 29th onward, the wind cranks up. We're looking at 10ft swell with strong cross-onshore winds from the ESE hitting 28 mph on Thursday the 30th. The energy is through the roof at 4070, but the conditions are poor. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The early part of August doesn't amount to much. There's a small window on Saturday the 1st of August afternoon with a 5ft WSW swell and a gentle offshore wind from the NW. That will be clean and fun for the crew who want smaller waves. The energy is moderate at 797. After that, the swell fades out and the wind stays messy through to the 6th.

The best bet is the afternoon of Saturday the 25th of July. That's the sweet spot: 6ft of clean, long-period SSW groundswell from the optimum direction, with a light cross-offshore breeze. It's a proper session for experienced surfers. The Saturday and Sunday mornings of the 25th and 26th are also worthy of a dawn patrol.

Rusty.
