The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through, especially this first week. It’s not huge, but there’s plenty of quality on offer, particularly in the mornings when the wind plays nice. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The real standout is Tuesday, 28 July. The morning is looking absolutely prime. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the SW, with a period of 13 seconds, giving it some real push. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, making for clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is strong at 1190, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. This is definitely one for the experienced crew – that size on a reef and beach setup can get a bit feisty. Not a beginner’s session.
Wednesday, 29 July, is another cracker of a morning. Similar story: 5ft SW swell, 14-second period, cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph, and combined energy hitting 1229. This is powerful, clean, and solid. Again, expert territory.
Monday, 27 July, is also worth a mention. The morning brings a 4ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period, combined energy of 681, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. That long period means the waves will have plenty of shape and energy, especially at this point break setup.
Friday, 24 July, starts us off small – only 2ft on the morning, but with a 24-second period, which is incredibly long. The wind is glassy from the ESE at 0 mph, so it’s dead clean. The combined energy is weak at 360, so it’ll be small and slow, but for a longboard or a log, it’s a beautiful, glassy start to the weekend.
The afternoons, however, are a write-off for the whole first week. The wind swings onshore from the WSW, and the chop comes up, making it pretty ugly. Stick to the early sessions.
After that, we hit a real lull. From Sunday, 3 August, right through to the end of the forecast on Saturday, 8 August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell drops right off to 1.0ft to 2ft, the energy is weak (under 101), and the conditions are poor. It’s a proper flat spell.
So, to sum it up: get your sessions in from the 24th to the 30th, especially the mornings. Tuesday, 28 July, and Wednesday, 29 July, are the absolute best of the bunch. After that, put the board away for a week.
Rusty.
