The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Punta Sayulita—a beach-and-reef setup that’s super consistent and beginner-friendly, though crowds do show up sometimes. The next couple of weeks have a slow start but plenty of solid windows.

Thursday the 16th kicks off tiny: 1.3 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. Morning’s clean with a light offshore 3 mph from the ENE, but it’s really just small and ordinary. Afternoon gets messy as the wind turns cross-onshore.

Friday the 17th stays marginal. A 1 ft SW swell (19 sec) and cross-offshore NE wind in the morning keeps things clean but too weak to get excited about. Afternoon sees onshore wind and flatness.

Saturday the 18th shows a pulse: 2 ft SW swell, period dropping to 13 seconds, but the morning is clean with a light cross-offshore ESE breeze. Energy picks up to 275—decent for the size. Still small, but rideable.

Now, Sunday the 19th morning—that’s a standout. 3.3 ft of WSW swell with a 12-second period, offshore ENE wind at 6 mph, and clean conditions. Combined energy jumps to 590. This is your first proper session of the window. The swell direction matches the optimum (WSW), so the break should line up nicely. Not too big for beginners, but with that long period it might wall up a bit on the beach—still, a really good morning.

Monday the 20th morning stays clean with 2 ft SW swell (16 sec) and light offshore wind. Solid for the small stuff. Afternoon gets cross-onshore slop.

Tuesday the 21st morning offers 3.3 ft SW swell (14 sec), cross-offshore NE breeze, and clean shape. Energy 506—very good conditions again. Wednesday the 22nd morning steps up: 4.3 ft SW, cross-offshore SSE wind, clean, energy 518. That’s a nice step in size, still manageable.

Thursday the 23rd morning—this is the crown jewel of the whole outlook. 4.3 ft of WSW swell, period 13 seconds, glassy conditions with just a 3 mph ENE breeze. Combined energy 578, and the direction is spot-on optimum. It’s clean, punchy, and

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.
