Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Right now the surf is small but there’s a slow build coming. The first session worth paddling out for is Saturday morning, July 18th.

Punta Sayulita – Saturday morning, July 18th. We’re looking at a small 2ft swell from the SW with a long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s going to wrap in with some real shape. The wind is light off the ESE at 6 mph, so expect clean, lined-up waves. The water is sitting at 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° above the average. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and the combined energy is moderate at 238.

Sunday morning, July 19th, the swell bumps up to 2ft from the SW, period still long at 17 seconds, and the wind stays light offshore from the ESE at 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to 394, still moderate. Clean conditions again, but the afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore wind, so make it a dawny.

Monday morning, July 20th, is a standout. Swell holds at 3ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE at 3 mph. The waves will be clean and the combined energy is solid at 402. This is one of the better windows early on.

Tuesday morning, July 21st, is glassy. The swell drops a touch to 2ft from the SW, 15-second period, but with absolutely no wind – it’s dead calm. That’s rare and special. The water will be like a mirror. Combined energy is 310. If you want silky, clean conditions, this is it.

Wednesday morning, July 22nd, and Thursday morning, July 23rd, both offer clean 3ft to 3ft SW swell, with offshore or cross-offshore winds. Consistent, clean, and good for all levels.

Now, the real highlight comes Friday, July 24th, through Monday, July 27th. Swell sizes climb to 3ft from the SW, with periods ranging from 17 to 24 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. The combined energy peaks at 778 on the Monday morning, July 27th, which is strong wave energy. The wind is light offshore or cross-offshore each morning, keeping it clean. The best of the best is Sunday morning, July 26th, and Monday morning, July 27th – both rated very good. That Monday morning, the swell hits 3ft at 19 seconds, with light offshore ENE wind at 6 mph. Gorgeous conditions.

After that, the swell slowly backs off through the end of the month, but Tuesday morning, July 28th, still offers 3ft SW swell with cross-offshore wind, and Wednesday and Thursday mornings, July 29th and 30th, are glassy and clean, though smaller.

There is a gap from Thursday afternoon through the rest of the week, into August 1st, where the energy drops below 100 and the waves become very marginal. Not much to get excited about there.

Overall, the standout mornings are Monday, July 20th, and Monday, July 27th – both have clean conditions, decent swell, and that long-period groundswell making for proper waves. This is a consistent run for Punta Sayulita, and the water is unseasonably warm. Good times ahead.
