The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. The next couple of weeks look pretty small and clean for the most part, with a few mornings that'll definitely get you out of bed. It's not gonna be a pulse-pounding stretch of swell, but there are windows of goodness if you pick your moments.

The water is running about 89°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a couple of degrees above normal, and you'll feel it right away. A real treat.

First up, Friday morning, the 7th. It's small, coming in at 1ft from the SSW with a solid 18-second period. The wind is light offshore from the east, and it's looking clean. The energy is weak, at 216, but the long period should give those little waves a bit of push. It won't be big, but it'll be the best of the first couple of days.

The weekend mornings stay small, around 2ft, but the periods drop and the winds are a bit more cross or onshore. Saturday morning is a bit crossed up, Sunday morning goes glassy but the swell is pretty ordinary. Nothing to get too excited about.

Monday the 10th is similar – glassy in the morning, small and weak. The afternoons are all pretty much a write-off with onshore breezes.

Now, the first real standout comes on Tuesday morning, the 11th. We've got 2ft of SW swell at 18 seconds, with light cross-offshore winds. The energy jumps up to 271, which is still moderate but it's the most push we've seen. It's clean, and with that long period, the waves will have some shape.

Wednesday morning the 12th is another good call. Similar size, 2ft from the SW, and again light cross-offshore winds. The period drops a bit to 16 seconds, but it's still clean and the energy is okay, at 214.

Thursday the 13th morning is also worth a look. Same sort of size and wind, clean conditions, and good vibes.

But the real pick of the whole stretch is Friday morning, the 14th. The swell bumps up a touch to 2ft from the SSW, but the period jumps back to 18 seconds, and the energy gets to a moderate 324. It's glassy with a light eastern wind. That's your standout morning. Clean, lined-up, and enough push to make it fun on a longboard.

Saturday the 15th morning is also pretty decent. It picks up to 3ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is up to 383. The wind is offshore from the ENE, so it should be clean. It's a bit more size, still good. This is probably the biggest you'll see.

After that, the mornings stay rideable but the energy levels drop back down. Sunday the 16th has some clean morning waves at 2ft, but a bit more cross-off than pure off. The following week, from the 17th onward, it backs off to that small, ordinary 2ft SSW swell, with a few glassy or offshore mornings here and there, but nothing special. The periods drop into the 13-15 second range and the energy gets weak. Tuesday the 22nd looks tiny, with the energy dropping to 101, so that's a pretty flat end to the window.

So, your two best bets are the Friday morning the 14th – that's the standout for shape and cleanliness – and then Saturday morning the 15th for a bit more size and power. Both of those will be worth the paddle out.

Right now, the mornings are your friend. The afternoons are all pretty much blown out or onshore, so get it early.

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.
