The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the surf forecast for this spot.
Right now, the first week is a bit of a dud. The water is a balmy 84°F, which is much warmer than normal, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you wait. The first real chance to get a wave comes on Monday, July 20th. The morning has a 3ft S swell with glassy conditions. It’s small, but it's clean. The afternoon picks up to 4ft from the SW with the same glassy feel. It’s a start, but not the main event.
The middle of the week gets messy. Swell pushes up over 6ft on the 22nd and 23rd, but the wind is all wrong, and the surf is poor. Not worth a paddle.
Sunday, July 27th, the morning shows a 4ft SW swell, but the cross-on wind will mess it up. Skip it.
The real standout is Friday, July 25th. That morning is the big one. A 10ft SW groundswell is rolling in, with a 13-second period. That’s a lot of energy (combined energy of 3152). The wind is glassy, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is an expert-only session. The swell direction is spot on from the optimum (S), and with the glassy wind, Acapulquito-Costa Azul (beach and reef) will be firing. The crowds are often here, so get there early.
Saturday the 26th is also a killer. The morning is glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but the afternoon is the gem: 5ft from the SW, a 19-second period, glassy, calm, and excellent. That’s a long period groundswell that will wrap in perfectly. The combined energy is 2377. That’s a quality session.
Sunday the 27th is still good, with 4ft to 5ft SW, glassy conditions, and 18-second periods. The energy is still strong. The weekend is the window to watch.
After that, the swell holds but the wind turns cross-on again into the 28th and 29th. The magic fades.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a write-off. The real prize is Friday morning, July 25th, for the big, glassy, expert-only waves. If you’re not ready for that, the Saturday afternoon, July 26th session is a dream for a wider range of surfers. Get out there.
