Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, it’s not firing at all. We’ve got a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The first real surf worth mentioning isn’t until Thursday the 23rd morning, and even then it’s small—just 2ft from the WSW with a 10-second period. The water temp is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (anomaly of 3°). That’s notable—feels like a warm bath out there. The morning session is glassy and calm, making it surfable but nothing to write home about. The energy is weak (117 combined energy), so don’t expect much push.

Thursday afternoon fades fast with onshore wind and a drop to 1ft – a proper dud. Friday the 24th morning brings a little hope with 2ft from the SW, glassy conditions, and moderate energy climbing to 360. It’s better, but still very small. That pattern holds into Saturday the 25th morning – 2ft, glassy, with 420 energy. Clean but gutless.

Now, Sunday the 26th morning is where things start to get interesting. You’ve got 3ft from the SW, 18-second period, and light offshore wind from the ENE. That’s a proper clean, lined-up little wave for the beach-and-reef setup. Energy hits 488 – moderate. Crowds are sometimes there, so you might have some company. This is a nice little window for a longboard or a funboard.

Monday the 27th morning is even better: 3ft, 17-second SW groundswell, light offshore from the E, and clean. Energy is up to 516. This is where you want to be if you can sneak out.

But the real standout—the one I’d circle on the calendar—is Tuesday the 28th morning. Swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, 16-second period, light offshore breeze from the ENE. That’s 1397 energy – moderate-strong. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays solid at 5ft and glassy (1138 energy). Crowds are possible here, and with that size and quality, it’ll be worth the paddle.

Wednesday the 29th morning is even bigger: 8ft from the SW, 14-second period, and a gentle offshore from the E (1884 energy). That’s expert territory – powerful, clean, and well overhead. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session. Afternoon gets ruined by a 15 mph cross-onshore, so morning is the call.

Thursday the 30th holds at 6ft from the WSW, clean and glassy in the morning, with 1172 energy. Very solid. Friday the 31st morning drops to 5ft but stays clean (642 energy). After that, the swell fades fast into the first week of August, with small, weak surf (1–3ft) and mostly poor afternoon winds. The last week of the forecast is quiet – nothing above 2ft and energy under 150. A blank run like that is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows close.

To wrap it up: your best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 28th for solid size and clean conditions, and Wednesday the 29th morning if you’re experienced and want a bigger challenge. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th mornings are the best smaller-swell windows.
