The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Punta Sayulita in feet and degrees.
The first real window hits early on Tuesday, July 28th. Morning is glassy with a light 5 km/h easterly breeze – that’s a huge plus. Water temp is about 89°F, much warmer than average for this time of year. Swell is from the southwest, 4 ft at a long 17 seconds. That’s a groundswell with moderate energy (958). The long period will give the waves shape and punch, but on a beach and reef setup, those lines might be a bit straight. Still, for a beginner-friendly wave, this is a treat. Crowds are possible.
Wednesday morning, July 29th, is another standout. Offshore wind from the east at 10 km/h, clean conditions, and a 3 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. Energy is still moderate (568). It’s a little smaller, but the offshore wind will make it glassy. This is your best call for clean, fun waves.
Thursday morning, July 30th, is glassy again with a 3 ft SSW swell at 14 seconds. Energy drops to 395, but it’s clean and light. Good for a longboard session.
Then the swell fades fast. Friday through the weekend, heights drop to 2 ft or less. Afternoons get choppy with onshore wind. The mornings are still rideable but very ordinary.
There’s a long gap from Monday, August 3rd, through Thursday, August 8th, where the swell energy is below 100 and waves are tiny – 1 ft or less. Not worth paddling out.
The next sign of life comes on Wednesday, August 12th: a 2 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, clean with a light breeze, and moderate energy (304). It’s a promising but less certain long-range option.
The best of the run is Tuesday, July 28th, and Wednesday, July 29th. Get in the water while it’s clean.

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.
