Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Punta Sayulita in feet and Fahrenheit.
Water temp is a balmy 88° – that's much warmer than usual for this time of year. No booties needed.
The surf kicks off Thursday morning, 3rd July. We're looking at 2ft to 2ft, but it's a long-period groundswell from the SSW running 14 to 15 seconds. The main draw is the wind. A few mornings are completely glassy – dead flat water. For this spot, that's a treat. Combined swell energy is moderate at 219 on Thursday afternoon, building to 258 by Sunday the 5th, and hitting a peak of 425 on Monday the 6th. The real winner is from early Saturday 5th July through Tuesday 8th July. You've got 2ft to 3ft of SSW groundswell with a period bumping up to 18 seconds, and glassy offshore breezes from the ENE and NNE. Crowds are listed as "sometimes", so you'll have company when it's clean. This is a beach and reef setup, so that long-period swell (over 15 seconds) might straighten out on the beach, but the reef should give it some shape.
After Tuesday 8th, the afternoons get choppy with cross-onshore wind, but the mornings stay clean with light breezes or offshores through the 14th. Wave heights stay small, 2ft to 2ft, and the energy drops into the second week. By July 15th and 16th, the swell fades to 1ft to 1ft with weak energy around 69 to 79 – pretty flat. A little pulse on the 17th shows 3ft and 247 energy, but the wind is messy cross-onshore, so no good.
The standout is those glassy mornings from the 5th to the 8th of July. That 2ft to 3ft groundswell at 16 to 18 seconds with perfectly clean conditions – that's your window. Don't sleep on it.
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.
