Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off with a solid little run but it’s not exactly firing out of the gate. The first decent surf comes in on Monday the 6th of July, with a small but clean 2ft SSW swell. The real standout early on though is Tuesday morning the 7th. That’s where we get glassy conditions with a 2ft SSW groundswell, period pushing 18 seconds. The water is way warmer than normal for this time of year at 89°, which is a real treat. That long period will make for some proper lines, especially at the river mouth, so keep it in mind.
The whole first week stays pretty consistent with waist-high waves, mostly in the 2ft to 3ft range, and the winds are kind to us in the mornings. The real gem of the whole forecast though is Friday the 17th of July afternoon. That’s when we see a jump in size to 4ft from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy really kicks up (561) and it’s glassy. The morning of Saturday the 18th is also a cracker, with 4ft SW swell, clean offshore winds, and strong energy (547). That’s the best two-session window in the whole outlook.
There’s a bit of a dry spell around the middle of the second week and the swell drops right off, but it picks up again towards the end. The breaks are very consistent, so it never really goes flat for long. Crowds are a possibility at Punta Sayulita, so get there early for the glassy morning sessions.
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.
Punta Sayulita is 33 km (20 miles) from the city of Ixtapa. If you plan a holiday in Nayarit, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ixtapa. Ixtapa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
