The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Punta Sayulita in feet, because that’s how we measure it.

It’s a slow start, but there’s a real window of clean, fun waves coming up. The water is a balmy 89°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s shorts and a rash guard weather.

First thing Saturday morning, the 29th of August, is worth an early alarm. It’s cloudy, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NE at 6 mph, keeping the surface glassy. Swell is about 3 feet from the SSW, with a long 16-second period, giving it some real push (moderate energy at 476). For a beach and reef setup, that long period means it’ll have nice shape and lines. This spot is very consistent, so you’ll get waves. The afternoons are onshore and messy, so go early.

Monday the 31st of August morning is another small, clean option. A light cross-off breeze from the ENE at just 3 mph, and a 2-foot SSW swell with a 13-second period. Energy is moderate (202). It’s small but perfect for a longboard.

The standout: Friday the 4th of September morning is the one. Offshore wind from the ENE at 3 mph, so it’s going to be clean and lined up. Swell is 3 feet from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy jumps to strong (601). That’s a lot of power for the size. It’s a groundswell, and at this spot it should stand up nicely. You’ll have the consistency of a very consistent break, and the water will be warm. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so expect a few heads, but it’s the best session in the whole outlook.

The second week is quieter. The mornings of the 7th, 10th, and 11th of September offer small, clean conditions with light offshore or glassy winds, but the swell drops to 2 feet and the energy is weak to moderate. The 8th and 9th are ordinary with onshore winds in the afternoons.

The standout is Friday, September 4th, morning. That’s the one.

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.
