Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so the first thing you need to know is that the surf is pretty small overall for the next few days, so don’t get too excited just yet. The water is running much warmer than usual for this time of year at 88°F, which is pretty wild – that’s a solid 5°F warmer than normal, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The standout session, and really the only one worth getting properly amped about, is Tuesday morning, July 7th at Punta Sayulita. It’s going to be dead glassy with zero wind, and that SSW swell is still ticking over at 2ft but with a very long 18-second period (groundswell). That combo is going to give you clean, lined-up waves, even if they’re not huge. The combined energy is moderate at 420. It’s a beach and reef setup, so you’ll want to be careful of the inside rocks on the reef if the tide drops, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it’s as good as it gets.
Before that, Monday morning (July 6th) offers a slight chance with clean, cross-off wind and 2ft at 16 seconds (321 energy), but it’s more of a warm-up.
After Tuesday, things go a bit flat and ordinary. The swell drops right off into the 1ft to 2ft range for several days and the wind turns messy onshore in the afternoons. The mornings from Wednesday through to the following Monday will be small and clean-ish but really weak, with combined energy slipping down to two-digit numbers by Friday morning (83), meaning it’ll be a struggle to get a proper ride.
There’s a bit of a reset on Sunday morning, July 19th, nearly two weeks out. The swell picks back up to 2ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period and clean cross-off wind (308 energy). That one looks promising, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it. Don’t book the trip just yet.
Crowds are a thing here – Punta Sayulita is marked as “sometimes” busy, and with decent morning conditions and small waves, you can bet a few others will be out for a splash. For a beginner spot, it’s fine, just don’t expect a solo session.
So, bottom line: Tuesday morning July 7th is your best shot for clean, glassy, user-friendly waves. Everything else is small, wind-affected, or just plain ordinary. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoons with cross-onshore wind and weak chop might be more your thing, but for a paddle, aim for that Tuesday.
Rusty.

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.
Punta Sayulita is 33 km (20 miles) from the city of Ixtapa. If you plan a holiday in Nayarit, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ixtapa. Ixtapa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
