The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, the water is sitting at a very warm 89°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. You’ll be surfing in a bath.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off for anything decent. Tuesday the 14th through to Saturday the 18th sees tiny, weak swell coming in from the SSW, with wave heights barely hitting 2 ft. The energy is weak (122 to 198), and the periods are all over the shop. There’s a few clean windows in the mornings with light easterly cross-off or glassy conditions, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.

Things start to show a bit of life on Sunday the 19th. The morning brings a 2 ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The energy jumps to moderate (397), and with a light offshore easterly breeze, it’ll be clean. This is a solid session for a longboard or a funboard.

Monday the 20th morning is similar, with a 3 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and a light offshore wind. The energy is still moderate (395). It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable and clean.

Now, the standout window is Tuesday the 21st. The morning is glassy, with zero wind, and a 4 ft SW swell rolling in. The period is 14 seconds, and the combined energy is now strong (503). This is the pick of the forecast for the first week. The waves will have some push, and with glassy conditions, Punta Sayulita’s beach and reef setup will be offering the best rides of the run so far. Keep in mind, the swell is from the SW, which is a little off the optimum WSW direction, but the quality of the conditions will win out.

Wednesday the 22nd morning sees the swell bump up to 5 ft from the SW, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The energy is very strong (879), but the wind is a cross-off from the NNE, so it’ll be clean. This size is getting a bit much for beginners, so it’s more for the experienced crew.

Thursday the 23rd morning is another great option. A 5 ft WSW swell, with a 13-second period, and a light offshore from the ESE. The energy is very strong (850), and the direction is much closer to the optimum. This will be a meaty, clean session.

The following Saturday the 25th morning has a 5 ft WSW swell, 12-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is strong (842). It’s a solid option, but the wind isn’t quite as perfect as the offshore days.

After that, the swell drops back down. Sunday the 26th morning is a glassy, 2 ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period. The energy is strong (662), but that long period will make it break a bit straight on the beach. It’s still a clean, fun session for a log or a mid-length.

The final good run is from Monday the 27th to Wednesday the 29th in the mornings. Swell holds around 3 ft from the SW, with periods around 15-17 seconds, and light offshore or glassy winds. The energy is moderate to strong (329 to 446). The waves are small but clean and consistent.

Overall, the best of the best is the Tuesday 21st morning session. It’s the first day the swell gets over 3 ft with absolutely glassy conditions. The Thursday 23rd morning is a close second with a bigger swell and a better direction.

Rusty out.

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.
