The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Costa Azul over the next couple of weeks.

The overall picture is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but the wind is going to play games with us. The best windows are going to be short and sweet, so you’ll need to be ready to move.

Kicking things off on Monday, July 20th, it’s a bit of a tease. There’s a long-period groundswell from the SSW with some real energy behind it – the combined energy is 757 (moderate), but the wind is onshore and the conditions are just messy. The morning has a clean 3ft, but the wind is on it. The afternoon picks up a bit to 4ft, but it’s crossed up with a risk of thunderstorms. Not the time to paddle out.

Tuesday, July 21st, the morning is still a bit lumpy, but the afternoon is where it starts to get interesting. The wind swings to a cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, cleaning up the 4ft SSW swell (period 14 seconds). The combined energy is up to 778 (moderate). This is a solid session for the intermediate crew.

Wednesday, July 22nd, is the real standout. The morning brings a punchy 6ft SW swell, but it’s a bit crossed up. The real magic is Wednesday afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the WNW, and the swell settles to a very clean 4ft from the SW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1237 (strong). This is excellent surf, clean and powerful, for the experienced surfers. If you can only surf one session, this is it.

Thursday, July 23rd, is another great day. The morning is glassy, with 4ft of SW swell (10-second period) and ESE winds. The afternoon is even better: the wind is dead calm, and the swell is 4ft with a nice 11-second period. The combined energy is 543 (moderate). The conditions are perfect for Costa Azul. This is your second standout.

From Friday, July 24th, things get a bit trickier. The swell drops, the wind picks up, and the period goes super long (24 seconds) on Friday morning. That kind of long period groundswell can be a bit too straight for a beach break, so it won’t have the same punch. The afternoon sees a strong cross-shore breeze, making it choppy. A bit of a mess.

The weekend of July 25th and 26th is a story of solid swell and messy wind. Saturday has a 5ft SW swell (19 seconds) with a cross-offshore breeze, so it’s clean, but the combined energy is huge at 2138 (very strong). That’s a big, powerful wave. It’s clean, but it’s a lot of water moving. Sunday is similar, with 5ft and a cross-offshore breeze, but with a risk of thunderstorms.

The first week of August (the 1st through the 4th) looks like a real downer. The swell fades away to 2ft to 3ft, and the wind goes onshore, with the forecast calling for strong winds and rain. The combined energy drops to between 322 and 170 (weak). The conditions are poor, and it’s not worth getting wet. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

So, to wrap it up: your best bets are Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd, and Thursday, July 23rd. That’s the clean, glassy, 4ft SW swell with the right wind. It’s the kind of surf that makes you remember why you paddle out. The rest of the time is a fight for a clean wave. The spot is very consistent, though, so it won’t stay poor for long.

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.
