Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Alright, looking at what’s coming up for Punta Sayulita over the next few weeks, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the outlook is where the real magic happens. This spot is a beach and reef setup, pretty exposed to the south-west, and it’s very consistent, so waves will keep showing up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

The first proper surfable window is Wednesday morning, 15 July, with tiny 1ft swell from the SW, but a crazy long 18-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE, so it’ll be clean, but the wave energy is weak (103). It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but you’re not going to get much push. The mornings are the only show in town for the first few days – Thursday and Friday mornings are similar, with 1ft and 1ft SW swell, clean but small. The afternoons get blown out by onshore wind.

Now, things start to get interesting from Sunday morning, 19 July. We’ve got a jump in swell to 2ft from the SW, with a moderate 17-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 350—moderate energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the SE, so it’s clean. This is the first real standout. Monday morning, 20 July, is even better: 3ft SW swell, 16-second period, and 406 energy, with a very light cross-off from the ESE. Clean, glassy conditions.

The real highlight, though, is the run from Saturday morning, 25 July, through to Tuesday morning, 28 July. This is the best on offer. Saturday morning 25 July: 2ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 21 seconds, and the energy is strong at 553. The wind is a light cross-off from the NE, so it’s clean. Sunday morning 26 July: 3ft SW swell, 18-second period, and 665 energy—strong, clean conditions with a slight air from the ESE. Monday morning 27 July: 3ft SW swell, 17-second period, 731 energy, with offshore ENE wind. This is chest-high, clean, and punchy. Tuesday morning, 28 July, is similar: 3ft from the SSW, 17-second period, 563 energy, offshore from the E. These mornings are the standout sessions—small but powerful, long-period groundswell, which will be best at the point and reef sections. The light winds mean it’ll be uncrowded and clean, though crowds are possible here sometimes.

After that, Wednesday morning 29 July and Thursday morning 30 July still offer 2ft to 3ft swell, good energy, and clean conditions, but the period drops a bit. Overall, the first week is a slow grind, then the second week (starting 21 July) builds into that epic run from the 25th to the 28th. Don’t sleep on those mornings.

Rusty.
