Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks. It’s a proper mixed bag, but there are definitely some windows to get a wave.

We’re starting off with a real gem first thing Friday the 11th morning. The wind is glassy out of the ENE at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 2ft groundswell rolling in from the southwest with a long 15-second period. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is a solid moderate 242. This is the standout of the whole run – it’s a beginner-friendly break, very consistent, and those conditions are just about perfect for a long session.

That glassy spell doesn’t last though. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the WNW, and it’s game over for quality surf. Saturday the 12th morning offers a repeat performance with light NE winds and clean 2ft swell (217 energy), but again it falls apart in the afternoon as the sea breeze kicks in. This pattern of clean mornings and blown-out afternoons holds through the weekend into early next week.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are ordinary. The swell drops a touch, and while the mornings are clean, the energy is moderate at best (151 and 199 respectively). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Things start to look up again from Wednesday the 16th morning. With a light ENE breeze and a 2ft SW groundswell period of 16 seconds, the combined energy jumps to 278 – that’s a solid moderate push. Thursday the 17th morning is similar with clean offshore ENE winds. If you can get out before lunch, the waves will have some proper shape.

The real highlight of the second week looks like Monday the 21st of September. That morning brings a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period and combined energy hitting 360 – that’s on the cusp of strong energy. Winds are light offshore from the ENE. This is a promising window, though being over a week out gives it a little less certainty. Tuesday the 22nd morning is also right up there, with glassy conditions and a healthy 3ft swell at 318 energy.

We have to wait until the very last day, Saturday the 26th of September, for another treat. The morning looks absolutely glassy with zero wind and a 1ft, 19-second period SW groundswell. It’s modest in height but that is a very long period, low-energy wave (209) that will offer some incredibly clean, lined-up waves – perfect for a cruisy session on the longboard.

Don't bother with the afternoons, they're all onshore slop. There are no days where the swell goes over 5ft, so it stays well within the comfort zone for beginners and fun for everyone else.

For the best of the best: Lock in Friday the 11th morning for glassy perfection, and keep an eye on Monday the 21st morning for a solid, clean groundswell.

Rusty.
