The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening at Acapulquito-Costa Azul. It's a slow starter. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are showing us a long-period SW swell, 4ft to 4ft, but the energy’s only light to moderate. With that 15 to 16 second period and cross or onshore winds, it’s going to be lumpy and not well shaped. Combined energy is in that 500 to 800 range, so not much push behind it.

Saturday the 12th we get a little clean-up – waves drop to 3ft, but the morning goes glassy. That same long-period groundswell (14 seconds) means you’ll get some nice, smooth sets, but you’ll be waiting a bit between them. Water temp is about normal for this part of Mexico, so you’re fine in trunks or a spring suit. Crowds are a factor here, especially when the conditions turn clean.

If you want to plan ahead, mark Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September. That’s when it comes together. A clean 4ft SW swell, glassy in the mornings and cross-offshore in the afternoons. The combined energy hits moderate to strong levels, going as high as 929 on Monday morning. That’s the best swell direction for this spot, and the period is still long at 16 to 17 seconds. It’ll be a bit fat at times, but the quality of the waves with that light wind will make for some memorable corners. That’s your standout.

Thursday the 24th is a solid backup – glassy conditions, 3ft SSW swell, and calm to light wind. The energy is moderate (around 340-490), so not a lot of punch, but for a clean, cruisy session it’s perfect.

Outside of those windows, we get a long stretch of weak, messy surf. Around the 14th and 15th, the energy drops into the 300s and the winds are choppy. After the 22nd, it fades into small but clean waves again. This spot is inconsistent by nature, so when you get a clean 3ft-plus day with light wind, you take it.

The best surf is on the 21st and 22nd. Get after it.

Rusty.
