The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the look ahead for Costa Azul.
Alright, so for the place I call home, Costa Azul, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag. We’ve got some serious size and energy rollin’ in to start, but the wind and conditions are gonna be a bit of a fight. Towards the end of the first week, things clean up real nice, and we get a couple of magic windows. But then, after that, it’s a long, flat, and disappointing stretch. No sugar-coatin' it.
The big news is a pulse of strong groundswell arriving Sunday the 28th of July. That morning we’re looking at a solid 10ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period, and the energy is pumping at (4319). The wind is light and variable, almost glassy from the SE. That’s as good as it gets for a heavy session. The swell is right on the edge of being too big for the average weekend warrior though—this one’s for the crew who live for a drop. The next day, Wednesday morning the 29th of July, is another standout. The swell has eased to a very clean 6ft from the SSW, still with that 16-second pulse, but the magic part is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions (1964). This is what we live for. Clean, groomed lines, perfect for a long session. The water temp is nothing wild to report, just your usual winter reading.
For a couple of days after, Thursday the 30th of July, it’s still looking clean. You’ve got 4ft from the SSW and light offshore breezes in the afternoon from the NNW. Wednesday and Thursday afternoons pick up a fresh cross-offshore breeze, but the mornings are where it is at. After that, it’s a slow and painful fade. From Friday the 31st of July onward, the swell drops off, and by the start of August we’re looking at knee-high dribble. The combined energy readings just plummet into the hundreds, and later, below 100. The wind stays messy or onshore. Honestly, from the 1st of August right through to the 10th, there isn’t a single session worth getting out of bed for. It’s a long, flat run, and it looks like the norm for this neck of the woods right now.
So, your two best bets: hit Tuesday morning the 28th of July for the big, powerful, expert-only waves, or Wednesday morning the 29th of July for the best combination of clean, glassy, and still punchy surf. The rest is best spent waxing your board and watching the horizon.

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.
