Right folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

It's a bit of a slow start with small, clean waves, but the real juice comes later. We've got a solid run of south-west swell lining up, and the standout is the morning of Friday, 17 July and again on Saturday, 18 July when the energy really kicks in. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird happening there.

Punta Sayulita is the only show in town, and it's a very consistent beginner-friendly beach and reef. For the first few days, it's small. Thursday morning, 9 July, you're looking at a clean 2ft swell from the SW with a long 16-second period, but the energy is weak (263). The wind is a light cross-off, so it's surfable but nothing to write home about. Thursday afternoon turns glassy, with a 2ft SSW swell, which is a nice window for a longboard cruise.

Friday and Saturday will be small and clean in the mornings, but the afternoons get blown out by a cross-onshore wind. Sunday the 12th is similar—small morning, blown out arvo. It stays like this through the middle of the week. Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th have glassy mornings with tiny 1ft to 2ft SSW swell, but that's more for a paddle than a proper surf.

The real action starts kicking on Thursday, 16 July. The morning sees a 2ft SSW swell with a 13-second period and moderate energy (255) and clean, light cross-off winds. It's a sign of things to come.

Then Friday, 17 July morning is the first stand-out. Bright and early, we get a 5ft SW swell with a 12-second period and strong energy (625). The wind is a slight air, near glassy, and the wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions." This is the one. The swell direction is a good match for the spot's optimum (WSW). The size is solid for a beginner spot, but manageable for intermediates. Saturday 18 July morning is almost identical—5ft, glassy, very good conditions. The energy is high (777). These two mornings are the best of the bunch.

The swell drops off a bit for Sunday the 19th and Monday, but there's still a clean morning window with a 2ft, long-period SW swell (17 seconds). The second week shows another pulse. Tuesday, 21 July morning picks up with a clean 3ft SW swell with moderate energy (391). Wednesday, 22 July morning is another standout candidate: glassy winds, a 4ft SW swell, and very good conditions (633 energy). The period is 13 seconds, which is a nice, clean wave. Thursday, 23 July morning is also a strong look with a clean 4ft SW swell (611 energy). The crowd here is marked as "sometimes," so expect some company on these good days.

The long weekend (Friday 24 July) still has a clean 3ft WSW swell in the morning to close things out.

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.
