Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down what’s in the water for Punta Sayulita. The water is sitting at 89°F right now, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath.

The first few days are a slow start, but we’ve got some small windows. Sunday the 19th kicks off with a tiny 2ft SW groundswell, but it’s glassy in the morning, and the energy is moderate (393). It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s clean. Monday the 20th is much the same, with 3ft SW swell and clean conditions in the morning, though it goes cross-on later. Tuesday the 21st is the best of the early batch – 3ft SW swell, clean and offshore in the morning. That’s a glassy morning you want to be on.

Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd keep the small waves coming, but Thursday morning is glassy on a 2ft SW swell – still small, but clean. Then we hit a quiet patch until the 25th, but the Saturday morning of the 25th has a clean 2ft SW swell with a super long period (21 seconds) and moderate energy (463). That’s a long-period groundswell – better shaped waves, but longer waits between sets at this beach and reef spot.

The real standout is shaping up for Monday the 27th. The morning brings a 3ft SSW swell, clean, with moderate energy (561). It’s a solid, clean option. But the big one is Tuesday the 28th. That morning you’ve got a 7ft SSW swell with strong energy (1987) – that’s serious power. It’s clean, but at that size it’s for experienced surfers only. The wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s a bit tricky, but the power is there. Wednesday the 29th pushes even bigger, with 10ft SW swell and very strong energy (3945), but it’s cross-shore and choppy, so it’s more of a challenge than a treat.

Thursday the 30th is another highlight – 7ft WSW swell, glassy in the morning, with strong energy (1708). That’s an excellent session for the experienced crew. Friday the 31st stays good in the morning, with 6ft W swell, clean, and solid energy (1019). After that, the first week of August looks like it’s calming down, with smaller, cleaner days but nothing compared to that late-July pulse.

If you’re a beginner, stick to the mornings on the 19th through the 22nd, when it’s small and clean. Everyone else, mark your calendar for the 27th through the 31st, but be ready for the big stuff on the 28th and 29th – that’s expert territory.
