Hey, Rusty here checking in for Punta Sayulita.
We've got a stretch of small but clean waves coming up over the next couple weeks. Nothing overhead, but plenty of fun-sized lines for a longboard or a fish. The water is real warm – 88°F, which is about 5°F above normal for this time of year. Leave the rubber at home. The combined swell energy sits in the moderate range for most of the period, with a few weaker days.
The pick of the bunch is Sunday morning, July 5th. Glassy flat calm, 2ft SSW groundswell running a long 14-second period. Zero wind. That's as clean as it gets for this beach and reef setup. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and with those tiny, perfect waves, it'll be a dream for learning or just cruising. Crowds can pop up here, so early is the move.
Monday morning, July 6th, is another glassy morning – 2ft from the SSW with a 16-second period and a light NNE breeze. The energy is up a notch at 321, so you'll feel more push. Very clean.
Tuesday morning, July 7th, is the standout of the whole run. Glassy calm, 2ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the combined energy hits 420 – the highest of the forecast. That long period will put some real shape and juice into those small waves. It'll be a treat.
Wednesday morning, July 8th, offers clean cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 3 mph, with a 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. Solid waves for the area, and the wind will keep them tidy. Another top session.
After that, the afternoons get messy with onshores, and a few mornings have stormy conditions. The swell stays in the 2ft to 2ft range through the second week, but quality takes a hit. Saturday morning, July 11th, has a clean offshore from the east at 3 mph with a 2ft SSW swell – but the period drops to 14 seconds, so less grunt.
Toward the end, Saturday morning July 18th and Sunday morning July 19th both show clean cross-offshore or offshore winds with 2ft to 2ft SSW swell, periods around 16 seconds. Energy moderate at 211 and 236. These look promising for a long-range call, but you know how that goes – don't book your flights just yet.
There are no big dead gaps; most mornings offer something surfable, even if it's small and ordinary. The afternoons are mostly blown out, so dawn patrol is the way.
If you want quieter water, the smaller midweek mornings might be your best bet, but with conditions this clean on the standout days, there'll be a few regulars out.
That's the read. Stay on the early shifts. Rusty out.

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.
