G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty ordinary stretch. The first week is all small, weak swell with a bit of a chop in the afternoons. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The first few mornings from Monday 13 July through to Friday 17 July are glassy or clean but with tiny waves around 1 ft to 2 ft from the SSW, and the energy is weak. The afternoons turn to junk with cross-onshore winds messing it up. Not worth paddling out for.

There's a real gap in any decent surf until Saturday 18 July. You'll be waiting nearly a week for something that’s even worth a look. Saturday morning the 18th has a pulse of 1 ft SW swell with a 17 second period – that's a long period groundswell, so it'll have better shape but long gaps between sets. The wind is light offshore from the east, and the wave energy is moderate. It's clean, but the size is tiny. This spot is a beach and reef setup, so that long period swell might actually work better over the reef than on the beach. Crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you might have it quiet.

The real standout – and I mean the only one that gets me excited – is Wednesday 22 July. The morning shows a 4 ft WSW swell with a 13 second period, and it's glassy with light easterly winds. The combined energy is strong, and it's labelled as very good surf conditions. This is the best on offer across the whole forecast. It's not too big for a decent intermediate, and the wind will have it looking clean. The afternoon gets cross-onshore, so get on it early.

Beyond that, Thursday 23 July and Friday 24 July mornings stay clean with 4 ft WSW swell, good energy, and light cross-offshore winds. Saturday 25 July morning has a 3 ft W swell with a moderate breeze, still clean, but the wind is a bit stronger. Then Sunday 26 July and Monday 27 July mornings drop back to 2 ft SSW and SW swell, with very long period (19 and 18 seconds) and moderate energy. Clean, but small.

The final hit on Tuesday 28 July morning is a big jump to 6 ft SSW swell with a 13 second period and massive energy. That’s a lot of juice, but it’s coming with a moderate cross-offshore breeze. It's marginal due to the size and conditions, so that one is only for the experienced crew.

So, the standout is Wednesday 22 July morning. If you can only pick one session, make it that one. The rest of the run is a mix of clean mornings with small swell, and the afternoons are generally a write-off due to onshore winds.

Rusty.

Information about the Punta Sayulita Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Punta Sayulita provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Punta Sayulita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Punta Sayulita 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 (Punta Sayulita) 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 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.
