The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first couple of days are pretty flat and messy, so don't be in a rush to paddle out just yet. The water is a balmy 85°F which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath out there, so a spring suit might be overkill.
We’ll see a bit of a pulse starting to build from late in the first week. The standout window really kicks off on Friday the 7th. The morning has a bit of cross-onshore breeze on it, but the afternoon is the real deal. The swell is coming from the SSW at 3ft, and it’s got some serious legs with a 17-second period. The wind cleans right up to a cross-offshore, and the energy is pumping at (574). That’s the pick of the first week – clean, lined up, and with that long period groundswell, it’ll be wrapping nicely around the point.
Saturday the 8th keeps the good vibes going with similar size and direction, but the afternoon breeze picks up a bit. Still, the morning session with glassy conditions is a solid shout.
The second week gets a bit more interesting on the size front. Wednesday the 12th afternoon looks clean again, with a cross-offshore breeze and a solid 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds. Nothing huge, but it’ll be fun and tidy.
The biggest push of the forecast comes in on Friday the 14th of August and into Saturday the 15th. The swell bumps up to 5ft with a 17-second period, and the energy is all the way up at (1410). That’s a lot of water moving. But here’s the catch – the wind is howling from the east at 16 mph on Friday, turning it into a choppy mess. That’s not a paddle surfer’s friend. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Saturday the 15th is a bit better with lighter winds, but the swell is dropping.
Right at the tail end, on Sunday the 16th, the morning is glassy. The swell is back to 3ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and the energy is still decent at (451). That’s a beautiful, clean morning to finish the run.
So, the real standouts are Friday afternoon the 7th and Sunday morning the 16th. Don’t get too excited about the big stuff mid-month unless you’ve got a kite. Keep it clean, and keep it fun.
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.
