The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again with the imperial numbers for you. Let's break down Punta Sayulita.
Look, it's not a big swell window, but there are definitely some good sessions hiding in there. The water is warm at roughly 89°F, running a little warmer than usual.
Things start off slow. Sunday the 9th is a bit of a mess. Monday morning the 10th of August is where we get our first real look, with clean, waist-high waves at 2ft from the SSW and a light offshore breeze from the east.
By Tuesday the 11th morning, we’ve got 2ft waves from the SW with a long 18-second period. That's a long period groundswell, so it’ll have some shape. A light cross-offshore breeze will keep the surface clean, and the energy in the water is moderate.
The clear standout is the session on Friday morning, the 14th of August. The swell stays small at 2ft from the SSW, but the wind goes dead glassy from the ESE. The wave energy kicks up to the best we’ll see in this run. It's going to be clean and have that little bit of extra grunt. That's your call.
Saturday the 15th morning is also worth a look with a touch more size at 3ft from the SW and a light offshore breeze, though there's a risk of thunderstorms.
After that, it gets really quiet into the second week. Everything is small and ordinary, with the swell dropping to 2ft or less. There are a few clean mornings here and there, but it's very marginal.
Looking far ahead, the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August has a promising long-period groundswell from the SW at 1ft, but it's a long way out and the energy is moderate. The last morning on the 24th is also worth a lazy paddle but nothing to get excited about.
So, my pick is Friday the 14th. Not a big swell, but those glassy conditions will make it a clean, fun session on the small stuff.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
