The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Acapulquito-Costa Azul.
First thing you'll notice is the water is cooking. We're talking 86°F with a massive 4°F anomaly, so it's much warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a real treat.
Right now, on Thursday July 30th, we've got some swell in the water. It's a 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 14-second period, pushing moderate wave energy (906). The morning is a bit tricky with that risk of thunderstorms and a light onshore breeze, but it's surfable. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore wind from the west. This is our best bet in the near term, and it's the standout of the whole outlook. The waves will have good shape from that long period, and the water is glassy clean in the arvo.
Unfortunately, after that, things drop off hard. Friday the 31st through to the 6th of August is a real dry spell. The swell drops right down to 2ft to 2ft, and most days have poor conditions with cross or onshore winds. The energy drops right off into the low to mid hundreds. It's a long stretch of barely anything worth paddling for.
We do see a bit of a pulse coming back on the 7th of August. Friday the 7th has a 3ft SSW swell, and the period jumps back up to 18 seconds, giving it a solid 760 energy. That's a long-period groundswell. The morning is light onshore, but the afternoon west cross-offshore wind should tidy it up. It's a promising run, but we're over a week out, so keep an eye on it.
From the 8th through the 14th, we're in a holding pattern of small, inconsistent SSW swell. It hovers around 3ft to 4ft, with periods ranging from 14 to 20 seconds. The energy stays moderate, but the winds are a bit of a lottery, mixing cross, cross-on, and a few glassy windows. The 10th of August has a very long 20-second period, but it's cross-onshore in the morning, which is a shame. The 14th of August afternoon looks alright with a cross-offshore wind and clean conditions, but it's small.
Overall, if you want a wave, your best window is Thursday afternoon. Get out there. The rest of the fortnight is mostly a waiting game, with a few flickers of hope in the second week that are worth watching but nothing to set your alarm for just yet.
Rusty.
