The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Alright, mate, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Costa Azul over the next couple of weeks. The outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real gems tucked away if you’re patient. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, if you even wear one.

We start off slow. Monday the 10th through to Wednesday morning the 12th is pretty forgettable—small, messy swell with cross-onshore winds making things choppy. Not worth paddling out for. From Wednesday afternoon the 12th, things start to clean up with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still on the small side at 3 ft. It’s not until Thursday afternoon the 13th that we see a real improvement: a clean 3 ft SW swell, with a period of 15 seconds, pushing in with moderate energy (698). The wind is light and cross-off, so the waves will have some shape. That’s a window worth looking at, especially for the intermediate crew.

Friday morning the 14th is a write-off with poor conditions, but the afternoon brings a jump in size to 5 ft SW swell, period of 17 seconds, and strong energy (1214). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but the size and power are there. That Friday arvo is the first standout of the period—solid groundswell with good push.

Saturday the 15th holds similar size at 5 ft and 4 ft, but the wind is onshore or cross, keeping things a bit lumpy. Sunday the 16th drops back to 4 ft, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with light cross-offshore wind, making for some clean walls. That’s a good session.

Monday the 17th is smaller again at 3 ft to 4 ft, with a risk of thunderstorms in the arvo, so keep an eye on the sky. Tuesday the 18th is similar, but the wind is a bit stronger, making it less appealing. From Wednesday the 19th through Saturday the 22nd, the surf is a bit of a snooze—small, weak, and often choppy. Nothing to write home about.

Then we hit the real highlight. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are absolute beauties for Costa Azul. The swell drops to 2 ft, but it’s a clean SW groundswell with a long 17-18 second period, bringing in moderate energy (around 519 to 542). The kicker? Glassy conditions—dead calm wind, smooth as a mirror. That’s the best of the forecast. For a break that’s exposed and very consistent, these days will offer clean, peeling waves that’ll make you forget the flat spell earlier in the week. It’s small, so not for the grommets looking for size, but the quality and conditions are top-tier. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early.

Tuesday the 25th still has some glassy morning vibes, but the swell is dropping off.

Overall, the standout windows are Thursday afternoon the 13th, Friday afternoon the 14th for a bit more punch, and then the glassy goodness on Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th. That last one is the one to circle.

Rusty.

Information about the Costa Azul Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Costa Azul provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Costa Azul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Costa Azul surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Costa Azul) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Costa Azul may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Costa Azul is 13 km (8 miles) from Cabo San Lucas. If you plan a holiday in Baja Sur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Cabo San Lucas. Cabo San Lucas has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
