The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
We’re looking at a pretty sparse start to the forecast. The first solid chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Sunday afternoon, September 6th. Before that, it’s a mess of wind, storm risks, and inconsistent swell, so you’re better off fixing your gear or grabbing a beer.
That Sunday afternoon, the 6th, is the real standout of the whole window. The wave energy is solid at 1844, with a clean 7ft swell rolling in from the WSW and a 12-second period, which is a nice groundswell for this beach-and-reef setup. The wind is offshore from the NW, light at 6 mph, so the surface should be clean. This is the best you’re going to get for experienced surfers. The water is running at 88°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home.
The swell is a little too big for beginners here, but the direction is a good match for the break. It’s one of those days where the sets have some push and the gaps between them make it easier to paddle out. Crowds are often around, so be ready to share.
Looking further ahead, there’s a chance on Tuesday morning, September 15th, with a small 2ft SW swell and glassy conditions, but it’s tiny. The energy is weak at 285. If you’re desperate for a longboard session, it’s an option.
The rest of the second week drops off fast. Combined energy values tumble into the low hundreds, and the swell shrinks to under 3ft. The window on Wednesday, September 16th, is clean and glassy, but the waves are barely there at 2ft, so it’s a flat spell for anything but a foamie.
Overall, the only day that really fires is Sunday the 6th. The rest is a waiting game.
Stay safe out there.
