Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a wait for the good stuff, but patience pays off.

The first few days are pretty slim pickings. We're looking at Sunday, July 5th through to Saturday, July 12th, with little waves and a lot of ordinary conditions. The mornings are your best bet for a quiet paddle, especially with that glassy water, but the swell is tiny, just 2.0ft to 2.3ft from the SSW. The combined energy is weak to moderate (258 to 197), so don't expect much push. The afternoons are a write-off, with a westerly onshore wind chopping things up. There's a bit more life in the water on Wednesday the 8th morning, with a clean 2.6ft SSW swell and moderate energy (345), but it's still pretty average.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Sunday, July 13th through to Thursday, July 17th, it's basically a flat spell. The swell drops to 1.3ft or 1.0ft, and the combined energy sinks to a pathetic 72. There's nothing to get excited about, and several days are just a complete blank. A few mornings have a glassy surface, but there's no wave to ride.

Now, hold on to your boardies, because the end of the window looks much better. Starting Saturday, July 18th, the ocean starts to wake up. The real standout is Punta Sayulita (Punta-Sayulita). The morning of Sunday, July 19th, is a cracker. We're looking at a clean 3.0ft SSW swell, with a strong combined energy of 491. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which will keep the surface smooth. Then it gets even better on Monday, July 20th. The swell bumps up to 3.9ft from the SW, with a very strong energy reading of 653. The wind is still light and cross-off, making for fantastic conditions. The swell direction is right on the money from the WSW, and the water is about average for this time of year. This is the session to aim for.

The period on the 18th and 19th is a short 13 seconds, so it'll be a bit more playful and less of a groundswell, but the energy is there. The 20th has a similar period. It's a beach and reef setup, so it handles a bit of everything. The crowds are described as "sometimes", so you might have some company, but it's not a zoo.

So, the call is simple: sit tight for the first week and a half, get your chores done, and be ready for the weekend of the 18th and 20th of July. The Monday morning of the 20th is the clear winner—clean, solid, and strong. Don't miss it.
