The Lowdown

Right, let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Punta Sayulita.

Alright, so we’re looking at a pretty mellow run of surf here. The swell is small for the whole sixteen days, nothing pushing past about 3 feet. The good news is you’re getting a consistent long-period SW groundswell pushing in, with periods mostly between 14 and 19 seconds, so when those sets do roll through, they’ll have some proper shape. The water is sitting at a balmy 89°, which is about a touch warmer than what you’d normally expect for this time of year – it’s like bathwater out there. For the first week at least, the best sessions are going to be the mornings when the wind is light, offshore, or even glassy.

Let's break it down day by day. Monday the 10th is a no-go with a cross-onshore breeze, so you can forget it. Tuesday morning the 11th looks clean with a light cross-offshore NE breeze and a 2 ft SW swell (moderate energy of 261). It’s small but clean. Wednesday (12th) and Thursday (13th) mornings are similar – clean, small, rideable. Thursday morning actually looks like a real standout with a dead offshore E wind at 6 mph and that 2 ft SW swell (266 moderate energy). The wind is going to keep it glassy and clean.

Friday the 14th morning is another cracker. You’ve got an offshore ENE breeze with a 2 ft SSW swell. The combined energy jumps a bit to 383, so it’s got a bit more push. Saturday the 15th is the pick of the first week, no question. A glassy morning with the ENE wind gone totally calm, and the swell is 3 ft from the SW with an 16-second period (368 moderate energy). That’s about as good as it gets on this small window – perfectly clean, long-period lines.

After that, Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th still offer clean mornings but the swell backs off a touch. Tuesday the 18th through to the end of the period, the swell really drops into the 1 ft to 2 ft range, and the combined energy is often below 160, sometimes down to 76 (weak energy). There are still some clean or glassy mornings right through to the 25th of August, but the waves are going to be very small and weak – really only worth a splash if you’re desperate. The crowd factor is something to mention too: Punta Sayulita is very consistent, but the crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so you might have some company, especially if the surf picks up.

The best bet: Saturday 15th August morning is your standout. Glassy, clean, and the biggest, most consistent swell of the whole forecast. It’s not going to be huge, but it’ll be your best shot at a fun, long-period wave.

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.
