The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Costa Azul.
The start of the outlook is a bit slow, with some small, long-period groundswell and light cross-onshore winds. The water is 87°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real bonus.
The first real window to watch is Thursday, the 13th of August. The morning is glassy, with a clean 3ft SSW swell at a 16-second interval. The afternoon improves with the wind going totally calm and glassy, and the swell energy picks up. It’s a smooth, easy day.
Friday the 14th is the best session of the whole period. The morning is glassy with a 3ft, 18-second SSW groundswell, and the energy is building. Then the afternoon is a step up: the swell bumps to 5ft from the SW, with a 17-second period, and the energy hits 1224. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is the standout – a solid, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers. The combination of good size, very long period, and clean conditions is a no-brainer.
The following week is a steady run of clean, cross-offshore mornings and afternoons. The swell stays around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, with the period hanging between 14 and 16 seconds. The session on Monday the 17th afternoon is a good one: clean cross-off winds with a 4ft SSW swell and solid energy. It’s not the big day, but it’s a very clean, fun window.
The rest of the outlook is a predictable pattern of small, clean waves. The swell direction is right on the money, and while the crowds can show up sometimes, a Thursday morning with glassy conditions is a good bet for a peaceful session.
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.
