The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Acapulquito-Costa Azul has cooking for us. It’s a bit of a slow burn this time, so don’t get your hopes up too high for the next week or so.
We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty average conditions kicking off Wednesday the 5th. The swell is small and weak, coming in around 2ft to 2ft with a short period, and the water is an unusual 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore for the first several days, so expect bumpy, messy lines. The combined wave energy is low to moderate, sitting around 181 to 322, so there’s just not much power behind it. This spot is an inconsistent beach and reef setup, and with these weak swells and poor wind, it’s just not going to light up.
We do see a slight bump around the 7th and 8th, with swell heights touching 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is still a problem. It’s a long period groundswell (16-18 seconds), which should give it some shape, but the onshore and cross-shore winds will chop it up. The energy picks up a bit (440-642), but it’s still marginal at best.
The real story here is later in the window. The best on offer looks like it could be Friday the 14th in the afternoon. Swell pushes up to 5ft from the SSW with a solid 17-second period, and the wind swings light and cross-offshore. The wave energy jumps to a strong 1210. This is the kind of window that could fire for experienced surfers. You’ll want to be on it, but be aware this spot gets crowded often, and a 5ft swell is getting a bit big for beginners.
Then, if you can wait, Monday the 17th is a real standout. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions all day, with a 3ft SSW swell and a 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate (501-555), and with glassy wind, those waves will be some of the cleanest we’ll see. Crowds will be likely, but for that quality, it’s worth the company. After that, the swell fades back down into the next week.
So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a wash. Hang tight for the 14th afternoon and definitely circle Monday the 17th for the cleanest, most user-friendly session in this outlook.
