The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it for this spot. We’ve got a run of small, clean swells stacking up, mostly in the mornings, with clean wind, but the afternoons are a write-off almost every day. It’s fun-sized stuff, nothing massive, but there’s a real gem to start.

The standout is the first morning. Sunday the 6th early at Punta Sayulita. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SSW with a long 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The water is 89°, which is 4° warmer than average, so it’s that bathwater feel you don’t get often. The wind is light offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean and lined up. The combined energy is 514, which is moderate, but enough to push those waves through. If you’re going to surf, that’s the session. Crowds can be a factor here, so get in early.

From Monday the 7th, the pattern locks in: clean mornings, onshore afternoons. Monday morning has 2ft at 14 seconds – still good shape, a little less size. Tuesday the 8th morning is 3ft, but the swell has swung west with a 10-second period, so it loses that deep-water punch. Wednesday the 9th afternoon is a rare clean slot: glassy wind with 2ft from the SSW, a very long 17-second period, and combined energy of 332. That’s a treat.

Thursday the 10th morning is another glassy 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. This pattern holds through the next week, with swell dropping to around 2ft to 2ft most days. Small, but the clean morning wind means it’ll be fun on a longboard. Friday the 18th morning shows a tiny 1ft swell but with a very long 20-second period, meaning slow sets with long waits. Best at the reef or point, not the beach.

The gap is in the afternoons: every one is blown out. Your window is early. From the 13th, the swell gets smaller but the quality holds. The pick is still Sunday the 6th morning – best size, best direction, clean wind, and warm water. After that, the mornings through to the 11th are your next best bet.

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.
