Acapulco beach forecast
Mexico · 10 beaches and resorts
Veabird grades 10 beaches and resorts in Acapulco, Mexico, every six hours on seaweed, water, waves, weather and crowds. The most are in Acapulco, Acapulco Diamante and Pie de la Cuesta. These beaches sit outside the Atlantic sargassum belt, so seaweed is rarely a factor. Across the region, average highs run from about 88°F in January, February and March to 91°F in July and August, and the sea from about 81°F to 86°F. Rain is most likely in September and least likely in February, March and April.
