Table - best surf conditions forecast for Punta Sayulita over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here giving you the straight-up on Punta Sayulita.
Right now the water's real warm, about 89°F, which is much warmer than usual for the season.
We’ve got a quiet start. From Saturday July 11th through Thursday the 16th, it’s mostly small and choppy. Expect waves around 1 to 2 ft from the SSW or SW, with weak to moderate energy (112 to 203). Mornings are your best bet with clean glass or light offshore winds; afternoons get blown out by cross-onshore breezes.
The first real morning to get excited about is Friday July 17th. You’ve got a clean 3 ft SSW swell, 12-second period, combined energy of 361, and light cross-offshore NE winds. It’s a proper clean window. The break is very consistent, but crowds can happen here, so get there early.
Further out, Saturday July 25th morning looks glassy with a 2 ft SW swell but a very long 21-second period and strong energy of 525. That long period will give waves some punch, but at this beach and reef setup, it might be a bit straight – still, glassy conditions make it worthwhile.
The absolute standout, the best by far, is Sunday morning July 26th. We’ve got a solid 6 ft SW swell, 13-second period, and a massive combined energy of 1430. Winds are light from the SE making it clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers – too big for beginners and pushing expert territory. If you can handle it, that’s the session to aim for.
Between the 18th and 24th there’s a long stretch of small surf with only a few clean morning windows. Pick your days. That 26th is the one to circle.
Rusty out.

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.
