The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, switching to imperial. Let's break down Acapulquito-Costa Azul for the next 16 days.
We've got some decent swell energy rolling in, but don't bother paddling out on Wednesday and Thursday. It's all cross-onshore wind and storm risks, a total mess. The water is a crazy 87°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal – that's a very unusual, soupy bath.
The first real chance arrives Saturday the 5th. The morning's still a bit choppy, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze. Expect 7ft of swell from the SW with a 10-second period and moderate energy (1770). It's okay, but nothing special.
Now for the real standout. Sunday morning, the 6th, is the session to circle on your calendar. The wind goes glassy—completely dead calm—and there's a 1.3m (that's about 4ft) groundswell from the SSW. The period is a very long 15 seconds, packing a ton of punch (1481 energy). Those waves will have proper shape and long waits between sets, making the paddle out easier. For experienced surfers, this is top-notch. Just keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and crowds are often a guarantee, so don't expect a solo session.
The middle of the week gets messy again with wind shifts, but Tuesday the 8th afternoon sees a nice offshore from the NNW with 3ft swell. The energy is dropping though.
The second week is all about tiny surf and perfect conditions. From Thursday the 10th right on through the 17th, the wind is light and the ocean is glassy. Problem is, the swell shrinks to 2ft or less, with weak energy in the low hundreds (222). This is strictly longboard or foil territory. Nothing exciting.
All in all, if you want a wave with some grunt, your only real window is that Sunday morning the 6th. Don't sleep on it.
Rusty out.
