The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here. We got a good run cookin' for the Costa Sol. This ain't about huge, chaotic swell; it's about clean, fun waves that just keep comin'. Water temp is a toasty 88°, which is a bit warmer than you'd expect for this time of year – a real nice treat.
The show starts slow on Monday the 14th with cloudy, onshore wind messin' up the small 3ft waves. Let that one pass. Tuesday morning the 15th is when you need to be in the water. The wind drops to glass, and that SW groundswell has built to a nice 4ft. The energy is solid (923 combined). It's gonna be dead clean, and with a 17-second period, those waves are gonna be smooth and lined up. This is your best bet early on, but the spot can get a bit crowded.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th both have glassy mornings with 4ft swell (967 and 1016 combined). Thursday morning is the standout for the experienced surfer – perfect conditions and solid power.
The later part of the month (21st, 22nd) gets a little wind-affected with bigger swell. But then we get a fantastic run of clean mornings from the 23rd all the way through. Sunday morning the 27th is the big finale – a glassy session with the biggest swell of the whole outlook at 5ft (957 combined). A little too much for total beginners, but for the rest of us, that's the dream wave to end the run.
Mornings are the key. Don't sleep in, and you'll be laughing.
Rusty.

Information about the Costa Sol Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Costa Sol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Costa Sol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Costa Sol 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 Sol) 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 Sol 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 Sol is 27 km (17 miles) from Atoyac de Alvarez. If you plan a holiday in Guerrero, look for hotels and other accommodation in Atoyac de Alvarez. Atoyac de Alvarez has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
