Yep, you have trapped moisture. You're only seeing it on the Southern
side because that wall heats up more in the sun, and the water is
either expanding or creating water vapor - probably the latter.
First thing to do is to bleed 'er. Popping them with a pin will most
likely just put you back at square one with the bubbles after you
repaint. Slice off the bubbles with a razor blade.
The wall has to dry out before you can repaint. That's a tough one
in the rainy season. If you don't have too much area to deal with,
and too many bubbles, you could use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat
up the ex-bubble locations.
Repaint when all is dry. Spot prime if the manufacture recommends
it. Contact the manufacturer in any event and see if they have a
standard solution.

Contrary to "normal" practice...stucco should not be painted.

You like grey?
Say...are you that guy in Arizona (or maybe New Mexico)? The one who thinks
the way to handle stucco is to add more?

Ah, OK, that's workable. Trouble is, around here at least (central
Florida), the stucco guys don't like to use color in stucco because of the
difficulty in maintaining the same color batch to batch.
