Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, Rusty here, checking the vibes for Punta Sayulita.

We’ve got a run of small but glassy conditions coming up, which is a nice change of pace. The water is sitting at 88°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you won't need more than a spring suit, if that.

The first real standout is Sunday July 5th in the morning. It’s gonna be clear, dead calm, and glassy. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SSW, but with a solid 14-second period, it’ll have some push. The wave energy is in the sweet spot at 258 (moderate), so for a beginner break, this is about as clean and user-friendly as it gets. Expect clean, peeling walls with nobody to hassle you – just perfect for finding your rhythm.

Monday July 6th and Tuesday July 7th mornings also look real good. Similar deal – 2 ft and 2 ft SSW groundswell, periods of 16 and 18 seconds, and light offshore or glassy conditions. The energy builds to 374 then 357 (moderate-strong), so while it's still small, the longer period means better shape and more push per wave. The lack of wind on those glassy mornings will make it feel like a private session.

Later in the forecast, around Thursday July 9th, we see some more glassy conditions with 2 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and 216 energy. That’s another solid morning window.

A word of caution: the afternoons look pretty average. The west wind picks up and kills the quality. Also, from around July 12th onward, the swell drops right off. By July 15th, we’re down to 1 ft and barely any energy – 71 (weak) on the 15th morning. Not worth paddling out for.

If you’ve got a board and a flexible schedule, lock in the mornings between July 5th and July 9th. It’s small, but it’s clean as a whistle. Anything past the 10th is a gamble on dropping swell.

Stay stoked,

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.
