Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we've got some nice, clean, mellow swell rolling in. It's not gonna blow your socks off in size, but the consistency is there and the conditions are looking pretty prime for a beginner-friendly longboard session. The water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

Thursday the 13th kicks things off with a clean 2ft swell from the SW. The period is a long one at 16 seconds, which means some proper groundswell energy. The combined swell energy is a moderate 217. Mornings are where it's at, with a light offshore breeze from the ENE keeping things clean.

Friday the 14th is where we might see the standout of the week. The swell bumps up a touch to a glassy 2ft from the SSW, but the wind is dead calm in the morning. That's glass-off conditions, the kind that makes the water look like a mirror. The period stretches out to a very long 18 seconds, packing a punch with a combined energy of 380. For a beginner-friendly spot like Punta Sayulita, this is about as good as it gets for a cruisey, clean session. Just be aware, with that super long period, it might wall up a bit straight on the sand, but for a beach and reef setup it’ll be fun.

Saturday the 15th holds similar conditions – another glassy 3ft morning with a 16-second period. The energy is a solid 371. The pattern repeats: glassy mornings with a light E breeze, then the afternoon sea breeze kicks in from the W, messing it up. The crowds at Punta Sayulita can be an issue sometimes, so get out early if you can.

Sunday the 16th through Monday the 17th keep the same morning magic going; smaller 2-3ft but still glassy and clean with a NE breeze. The period drops slightly to 14 seconds, but the wave quality will still be better than the afternoon junk.

We hit a bit of a lull from the 18th to the 21st. The swell drops, with heights down to 1ft and energy falling below 100. The mornings stay glassy or clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It's a quiet stretch.

Then, on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August, we get another flicker of life. A 2ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, combined with an offshore breeze from the ESE, giving us clean surf again. And the outlook for Friday the 28th is looking promising with a glassy 2ft and a combined energy of 290. That’s a solid run of clean mornings to wrap up the forecast.

Overall, the play is to hit the mornings hard, especially Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th for the cleanest, most energetic swell. The afternoons are a write-off, so don't bother.

Rusty out.
