The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Punta Sayulita. It’s not a total write-off, but you’re going to have to pick your moments, and most of them are going to be early in the day. The afternoons are mostly going to get chopped up by the sea breeze, so if you’re keen, get out there before the wind gets busy.

The surf starts on Friday, August 14th. That first morning is a beauty – clean 2ft on the face, a long 18-second groundswell pushing in from the SSW, and only a slight air from the east. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so it’s not a shock when you get in. The energy’s weak, sitting at 394, but it’s a mellow little wave. The problem is, by Friday afternoon the wind swings west and turns it to mush. So, it’s a one-session day.

Saturday, August 15th, looks similar to Friday, but a touch better maybe – 3ft and glassy conditions on the morning with that clean, glassy look to it. That’s your first real standout. The swell is a bit more energetic at 371, and the light east wind will have it looking tidy. Again, Saturday afternoon gets wrecked by the westerly wind, so don’t sleep in.

Sunday the 16th, Monday the 17th, and Tuesday the 18th all follow that same morning glory pattern. Mornings have clean waves – around 2ft to 2.5ft with a cross-off or glassy breeze, and afternoons are blown out. Tuesday’s a bit smaller and the energy is fading into that weak range, so the quality drops off a touch. It’s still surfable, but nothing special.

Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are more of the same – small clean mornings, ordinary afternoons. By Thursday, the wind picks up more in the afternoon and the swell fades to 1.5ft, so you’re really just getting knee-high dribble.

Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd really bottom out, with the swell down to 1.5ft and the energy dropping into the weak range. Saturday morning has some glass with a bit of cross-off, but it’s really small. Saturday also brings the risk of thunderstorms, so keep an eye on the sky.

Then we get a bit of a pulse for Sunday the 23rd. It’s still small – 1.5ft – but that period jumps back up to 18 seconds, and a long-period southwest swell makes it a bit more interesting than the size suggests. The energy’s back up to 193, which is still weak, but there’s some push in it. The morning’s clean again with a light cross-off. It’s promising, but it’s not big.

Monday the 24th sees a bit more size – 1.5ft – and the energy climbs to 230. It’s still a clean morning call. But the real promise shows up on Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. Tuesday morning has the swell back up to 2.5ft, a 12-second period, and clean conditions with a light cross-off. That’s looking like a better couple of days, with the energy at 275. The quality’s on the up. Wednesday morning is similar – 2.5ft, 12 seconds, and clean – though the energy dips slightly. The afternoons remain wind-affected, but those mornings are your friends.

By Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th, we’re still seeing clean mornings with a bit of a bump in period – 15 seconds – and the energy’s climbing back into the moderate range, hitting 304 by Friday. It’s glassy and clean on those mornings, so if you can get out there, it should be worth it. The long-period swell could make it a bit straight at the beach, but this spot being a reef and beach mix, it should hold up fine.

The final call for the period is Saturday the 29th. It’s got a clean, 2.5ft swell, a 14-second period, and offshore easterly winds – and the energy is back up to 359, which is the most we’ve seen for a while. That looks like a good one to finish on. So, the pick of the week is Saturday the 15th for the glassy, clean conditions and a bit more push, with Saturday the 29th as the other standout to look for, but that’s far out, so it’s a promising one rather than a lock.

Overall, it’s a period of small, clean morning waves with a few fun pulses. It’s not an epic stretch, but there’s enough for a patient surfer to get a few good ones in.

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.
