Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it for this spot. We’ve got a run of small, clean swells stacking up, mostly in the mornings, with clean wind, but the afternoons are a write-off almost every day. It’s fun-sized stuff, nothing massive, but there’s a real gem to start.

The standout is the first morning. Sunday the 6th early at Punta Sayulita. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SSW with a long 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The water is 89°, which is 4° warmer than average, so it’s that bathwater feel you don’t get often. The wind is light offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean and lined up. The combined energy is 514, which is moderate, but enough to push those waves through. If you’re going to surf, that’s the session. Crowds can be a factor here, so get in early.

From Monday the 7th, the pattern locks in: clean mornings, onshore afternoons. Monday morning has 2ft at 14 seconds – still good shape, a little less size. Tuesday the 8th morning is 3ft, but the swell has swung west with a 10-second period, so it loses that deep-water punch. Wednesday the 9th afternoon is a rare clean slot: glassy wind with 2ft from the SSW, a very long 17-second period, and combined energy of 332. That’s a treat.

Thursday the 10th morning is another glassy 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. This pattern holds through the next week, with swell dropping to around 2ft to 2ft most days. Small, but the clean morning wind means it’ll be fun on a longboard. Friday the 18th morning shows a tiny 1ft swell but with a very long 20-second period, meaning slow sets with long waits. Best at the reef or point, not the beach.

The gap is in the afternoons: every one is blown out. Your window is early. From the 13th, the swell gets smaller but the quality holds. The pick is still Sunday the 6th morning – best size, best direction, clean wind, and warm water. After that, the mornings through to the 11th are your next best bet.
