Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a long, drawn-out run of surf at Zippers-Costa Azul that’s more about consistency than quality. There’s a lot of days with marginal conditions and messy wind, so don’t expect any kind of classic session. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you won’t need a thick suit, that’s for sure.

The first few days are a bit of a battle. On Sunday the 5th, we get a 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, but it’s cross-shore and the combined wave energy is 870 – moderate at best. Monday the 6th is similar with a 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the energy bumps up to 1242, but the wind is light cross-onshore so there’s a bit of ripple on the face. Tuesday the 7th sees the swell push up to 5ft and 5ft through the day, with 18-second periods and the energy climbing to 1526 by the afternoon. Wind goes cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but that size is pushing into intermediate territory.

Wednesday the 8th is a step back – 5ft morning, dropping to 4ft in the afternoon, but the wind gets moderate and cross-shore, so the afternoon gets chopped up and the energy drops to 947. Thursday the 9th is a write-off, with increasing onshore wind and choppy surf, energy falling to 757. Friday the 10th sees a small 4ft SSW swell, but the morning has offshore wind, which is promising – yet the period is shorter at 15 seconds and the energy is down to 651, so it’s marginal.

The standout window, if you can call it that, comes on Sunday the 12th. The swell drops slightly to 4ft from the SSW, 14-second period, but here’s the kicker – the afternoon goes glassy. That’s a rare clean moment with 610 energy. It’s not big, but it’s the best shot for a smooth ride.

After that, it’s a slow fade. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th have smaller swell, dropping to 2ft with longer periods (18 seconds) but the wind stays mixed. The energy slides into the 300-500 range. From the 15th onward, the swell sinks further – 2ft to 3ft – and the wind turns onshore or stays choppy. Thursday the 16th has a risk of thunderstorms and a short-period SSE swell, just 3ft at 10 seconds, poor quality. There’s a little flicker on Saturday the 18th afternoon with a clean cross-offshore breeze and 2ft SW swell, but it’s tiny.

Late in the run, Sunday the 19th afternoon gives us a 2ft SSW swell with 17-second period and offshore WNW wind – that’s clean and glassy, but it’s small. Energy is only 394. Monday the 20th brings a 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, light cross-shore and clean in the afternoon, but again, nothing to get excited about.

Overall, this is a long stretch of average-to-poor surf. If you’re itching, the glassy windows on Sunday the 12th and Sunday the 19th are your best bets. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Later,
Rusty

Information about the Zippers-Costa Azul Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Zippers-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 Zippers-Costa Azul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zippers-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 (Zippers-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 Zippers-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.

Zippers-Costa Azul is 14 km (9 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.
