Alright, Rusty here, breaking it down in feet and degrees for the crew that thinks that way.
We’ve got a real slow cooker of a start. The first week is a tough one – mostly cross-shore and cross-onshore winds gunking up the small swell that’s around. Combined wave energy is moderate at best, starting around 1104 on the first Wednesday, but the wind just won’t play ball. You’ll be doing more watching than riding.
The absolute standout window is Sunday the 20th of July through Monday the 21st of July. The water temp is about normal for the season.
Monday the 20th of July is the pick of the entire run at Costa Azul. Swell size is about 4ft, from the SW, with a 16-second period – that’s a proper long-period groundswell. In the morning, it’s glassy – dead flat calm – which is a huge bonus. The combined energy is strong at 852, so there’s real punch behind those waves. Expect clean, lined-up faces with good shape. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore breeze. Crowds are a possibility, so get out there early for the cleanest waves.
Sunday the 19th of July afternoon is another solid option with a 3ft SW swell, a very long 17-second period, and clean conditions. That combined energy hits 837. For the size of the swell, that’s a hell of a lot of energy, so expect well-formed, powerful waves between the lulls.
Around the 16th of July, the swell bumps up to about 5ft from the SSE, but with a shorter period around 11 to 12 seconds and cross-shore winds, it won’t be the clean, groomed stuff we see that Sunday-Monday window.
The 17th of July through the 18th is a total write-off with strong onshore winds and rain. Don’t bother.
The final stretch from the 22nd of July onward is average. The 23rd of July Thursday morning shows a 5ft SSW swell, but with light cross-onshore winds and a shorter period, it’s just okay. The afternoon of the 22nd cleans up with a 5ft SSW swell and a moderate cross-offshore breeze.
The call: The best waves of the outlook are on Monday the 20th of July at Costa Azul. Glassy, solid 4ft SW groundswell with long 16-second periods and strong energy at 852. Mark that day. Sunday the 19th afternoon is your next best bet.
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.
