The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Acapulquito-Costa Azul. It’s a beach and reef setup that’s pretty exposed, and it likes the swell from the south. The water is sitting at 86°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° anomaly. That’s something you’ll feel when you hit the water.
There’s a long blank stretch early on. The first real action doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 2nd, with a small 3ft SSW swell under glassy conditions, but it’s inconsistent here and that’s the best of a pretty weak start. Then it goes quiet for days – nothing really worth paddling out for until we get to the second week.
The standout window is Thursday, August 14th. That morning, the swell pushes up to 5ft from the SW, with a 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 1191, which is strong. Winds are glassy, and the report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best bet, but keep in mind the swell direction is SSW and the optimum here is S, so it’s a little off, but still solid. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off wind, same size, clean conditions.
The days after that, August 15th and 16th, are also worth a look. Swell holds at 4ft from the SSW, periods around 16 seconds, and glassy mornings. The combined energy is still strong, around 900-950. It’s not quite as punchy as the 14th, but it’s consistent and clean. Just watch for the afternoon thunderstorms on the 16th that could mess with the wind.
This spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect a steady run. But if you time it right, the 14th through the 16th mornings are your best shots. Plan for those.
Rusty.
