The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Punta Sayulita.
The next couple of weeks start off with a bit of a shaky run, but there’s a sweet little window of clean, fun-sized surf shaping up for the early part of the week. The overall pattern is a slow fade from some decent groundswell into smaller, weaker conditions, so you’ll want to be on it when it’s good.
Saturday 25th July is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a tiny 2ft to 3ft SW swell, but the wind is rubbish – onshore or cross – and the wave energy is moderate (420-507). It’s a no-go for a paddle.
Sunday 26th July is where it starts to get interesting. The morning session is the pick of the day. The swell edges up to 3ft from the SW with a long 18 second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive. The water energy is still moderate (488), but it’ll be clean and rideable. The afternoon goes onshore again, so get it early.
Monday 27th July is the standout. The morning is going to be a dream. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW with a 17 second period (moderate energy, 701), and we’ve got clean offshore E wind. This is the best on offer – clean, lined up, and perfect for a beginner-friendly wave. The afternoon gets choppy.
Tuesday 28th July is another great morning. Similar story: 3ft SW swell, long period, light offshore breeze. The energy is building (889). The water is about average for this time of year. Get out there before the sea breeze ruins it.
From Wednesday 29th July through to Friday 31st July, the mornings are still clean and surfable with 3ft swell, but the energy starts to drop (from 642 down to 413). Still fun, just not as punchy.
After that, the run goes flat. Saturday 1st August to Sunday 9th August sees the swell dropping from 3ft down to a tiny 1ft. The energy drops into double digits (277 down to 44), and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore. There’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendations. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 5th and 9th, but the waves are tiny and weak. It’s a quiet spell, so don’t drive too far for it.
The best bet is clearly Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th July mornings. Clean 3ft to 4ft SW groundswell with offshore winds. That’s your window.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Punta Sayulita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Punta Sayulita 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.
