Table - best surf conditions forecast for Punta Sayulita over the next 16 days.
Alright, I'm Rusty, and here's the lowdown for Punta Sayulita.
We're looking at a stretch of small, clean mornings that get blown out every afternoon. The water's about 80°, which is a couple degrees warmer than normal – feels like a warm bath and the crowds will be happy.
The real standout is Saturday, July 18th. The swell hits 4ft from the SSW with moderate to strong wave energy (503 to 578). Then on Saturday afternoon the wind goes dead calm – glassy. That's your best bet. Clean, lined-up sets with a 13-second period from the SW. Not a huge wave, so fine for most.
Even better is Sunday morning, July 19th. The swell pushes to 5ft from the SW with very strong energy (778) and a clean cross-off wind from the NE. That's the best of the whole forecast. The 13-second period means it's a proper groundswell. On a beach-and-reef setup, that long period might make it a little straight on the beach, but the reef will handle it nicely. For beginners, 5ft is starting to get a bit much. Crowds are a given here on a Sunday with that quality.
Tuesday the 21st has a solid morning too – moderate energy (505) and clean cross-off, but the swell drops to around 3ft. Still fun.
The week before that is a tough slog – small surf, glassy mornings, but nothing special. We're looking at almost a full week of flat-ish, ordinary stuff until that Saturday.
If you can hold out, it's all about the 18th and 19th. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
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.
