Acre (Mifalim) or Ako Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you about what we’ve got on the cards.

To be honest, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a dud. The swell’s been pretty weak, the wind’s mostly been a cross-onshore mess, and none of the conditions have come together to give us anything worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long stretch here where the surf just isn’t offering any real options.

Let’s start from the beginning. From Friday 3rd July, we’ve got a tiny swell pushing in at Acre (Mifalim), around 3 ft from the WNW with a short, weak 6-second period. The combined wave energy is a meagre 50, which is about as weak as it gets. The wind’s onshore and the report is blunt: poor surf conditions. That trend doesn’t let up through the weekend or into the start of the following week. Saturday and Sunday see a slight bump to maybe 3 ft, but it’s still a short-period, cross-onshore chop-fest with combined energy just barely cracking 100 at best. Nothing’s clean.

Moving through the week of Monday 6th July to Friday 10th July, it’s more of the same. Heights hover around 2 ft to 3 ft, periods stay short at 6-8 seconds, and the wind just won’t get out of the way. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the waves look like this.

We go into the second weekend, Saturday 11th July and Sunday 12th July, and the swell completely drops off the table. We’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft, energy readings down in the single digits and low teens. There’s simply no push.

The second week doesn’t offer any redemption. From Monday 13th July all the way through to Saturday 18th July, the pattern is locked in: tiny swell, short period, and onshore or cross-onshore breezes. Every single forecast row in that window is labelled “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout day, no window of clean glass, no proper groundswell to get excited about.

If this was a spot that fired more often, I’d say don’t sweat it – forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this flat for long. But given the pattern we’re seeing here, and the fact that every single entry reads the same, this looks like a proper blank run. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Sometimes you roll the dice and get snake eyes.

Rusty.
