The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of clean, surfable mornings coming in, but the afternoons are pretty much a write-off with onshore wind. The real standout is the early part of the week, with some long-period groundswell filling in and offshore winds making for some proper glassy conditions. The water is sitting at 89°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be surfing in a bathtub.

The first real action kicks off on Sunday, July 26th. The morning session is the one to grab. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the SW, but the period is a very long 18 seconds, so there’s plenty of energy in the water (combined energy of 487). The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE, keeping things clean. This is a beach and reef setup, and that long period groundswell means it’s going to wrap in nicely, offering better shaped waves with longer gaps between sets. The afternoon goes onshore, so don’t bother.

Monday, July 27th, and Tuesday, July 28th mornings are the cream of the crop. Monday morning sees the swell bumping up to 4 ft from the SW, with that same 17-second period and light cross-off wind. Expect very good surf conditions. Tuesday morning is even better: the swell holds at 4 ft from the SW, the period is still a solid 17 seconds, and the wind swings to a light offshore from the E. The combined energy jumps up to 943, which is a solid moderate energy. This is the best on offer, hands down. Clean, lined-up waves, and the crowds are possible here, so get out early.

Wednesday morning, July 29th, is another good one with a light offshore wind and a 3 ft SW swell at 16 seconds. The energy is still decent (620). The mornings continue to be the window through to the end of the week, with Thursday and Friday mornings offering clean conditions on smaller SW swells (3 ft to 3 ft). The wind is light and favorable.

The first week of August starts to fade. Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd, have glassy mornings, but the swell drops to 2 ft and then 2 ft, with much lower energy (279 and 178). The waves are still surfable but very ordinary. After that, we hit a big gap. From Monday, August 3rd, through to Thursday, August 6th, the swell is tiny (1 ft to 1 ft) and the energy is weak (under 100). There’s nothing worth paddling out for.

Things tentatively flicker back to life around Friday, August 7th, with a 2 ft, 17-second SSW swell, but the wind is messy. The next real window looks to be Saturday morning, August 8th, with a light cross-off wind and a 2 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds (energy 201). It’s small but clean. The following Sunday and Monday mornings offer similar small, clean waves, but the energy is low and the waves are unremarkable.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are Tuesday, July 28th morning, and Monday, July 27th morning. Get after it early, because the afternoons are a complete no-go, and the swell drops off a cliff after that first week.

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.
