Acapulquito-Costa Azul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, Bob, grab a cold one and let’s have a look. It’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – for the next two weeks around Acapulquito-Costa Azul, it’s a waiting game. There's surf, sure, but it’s mostly marginal with a few flashes of something worth paddling for.

We’re starting off looking at a spot that's inconsistent and can get busy. The water’s sitting at 89°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, you’ll feel like you’re in a bath.

The first real glimmer comes Tuesday afternoon, August 25th. The swell drops right back to 2 ft from the WSW, but with a period stretching out to 16 seconds – that’s a proper long-period groundswell. The wind goes glassy out of the WNW. It’s gonna be clean, but the energy is still moderate at 547. It won’t be pumping, but for a quiet, glassy session on a tiny longboard, it’s the best we’ve got early on.

Then the weekend comes through. Sunday, August 30th morning, the wind is glassy again, from the south. The swell is a bit better at 4 ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds. The energy’s moderate (680), and it’s glassy flat. The whole Sunday looks tidy with clean conditions in the afternoon too. That’s your standout window for a decent, clean surf.

Looking further out, Wednesday, September 3rd morning has a big bump in swell energy, reaching 1835 and a long period of 19 seconds. The swell is 4 ft from the SSW. But the wind is cross-onshore from the south-southeast, and the waves will be a bit lumpy. Still, that’s a lot of juice in the water, and if you can find a protected bank or a reef, there will be some power. This is the long-range promise – it looks good, but keep your feet on the ground.

Honestly, there’s a lot of "risk tstorm" in the forecast and cross-onshore winds messing things up. Most of the days are marginal. But keep an eye on that Sunday and the first week of September. Surf’s coming, just not screaming.

Rusty.
