Acre (Mifalim) or Ako Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest about what's on the table for this stretch. We're looking at a pretty quiet run for the next 16 days at Acre (Mifalim) or Ako. The swell is consistently small, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which is a real bummer for decent surf. The water's sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.

The first few days don't really offer much. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are tiny, with waves around 1 ft to 2 ft from the WNW, and the wind is messy. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 12 to 20. It's a write-off for paddle surfing. Friday the 28th is more of the same – knee-high junk with a 5-6 second period. The energy is barely there, 9 to 10. Saturday the 29th sees a slight bump to 2 ft and 3 ft, with the energy creeping up to 59 in the afternoon, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and poor.

Sunday the 30th is the first time we see a score of 1, but it's still a marginal call. The morning has a risk of thunderstorms, onshore wind at 6 mph, and a weak 3 ft swell. The energy hits 81, which is still low. It's not worth getting excited about.

The pattern continues into the first week of September. There's a glassy morning on Wednesday the 2nd with 2 ft, but the period is only 6 seconds and the energy is just 24. It's tiny and weak. The following Thursday the 3rd is also glassy in the morning, but again, it's 1 ft with a 6-second period and energy of 10. You'd be lucky to get a ride.

The best day in the whole outlook is Sunday the 30th of August, purely because it's the only day that scrapes a 1 out of 10. Even then, it's a marginal forecast with questionable tide conditions. The swell is 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the energy is 81, which is still weak. The wind is onshore, so it's not clean. It's the best of a bad bunch, but really, it's a day for the longboard or a paddle.

The rest of the run into the second week (September 4th to 10th) is a blur of tiny, weak swells, poor wind, and low energy. The energy values are all under 100, often in the teens or twenties. There's nothing that stands out as even a decent session. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, with a few glassy mornings that are just too small to do anything with.

Honestly, this stretch is a blank run for the area. The swell is too small, the wind is wrong, and the quality is poor. It's a quiet period, and forecasts can change, but right now, I'd say save your energy. There's nothing here for the surfers.

Rusty.
