Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from the beach. Let's get into it.

We've got a long stretch ahead. The first week or so is mostly small, with a few glassy moments that might get you out on a longboard if you're desperate. The real standout, the one that'll get the blood pumping, is way out there on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. That's the goal. The whole period is a waiting game for that.

Right now, for Saturday the 4th, Punta Sayulita is tiny. It's a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell. First light is the only time to even look at it with a 2 ft swell from the SSW, period 14 seconds. Combined swell energy is weak (176). The wind is glassy, which is a huge positive, so it'd be clean. But it's just small and weak. The water is 88°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, like bathwater.

Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are more of the same: small 2 ft to 2 ft SSW swells, but with those glassy mornings, the weak energy (258 to 374) might just wrap in a few rideable lines for a log. Early sessions only, though. Afternoons turn onshore and get choppy.

We get a run of glassy or clean mornings through to Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, and Friday the 10th, but the swell barely nudges above 2 ft. The energy stays in the low three-digit range (199 to 345). These are mornings for the dedicated, not for a proper session.

Saturday the 11th through to Thursday the 16th is a real flat spell. Swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft with combined energy often below 200. There are a few glassy or clean windows, but honestly, the surf is very ordinary. A 1 ft wave with 119 energy on Wednesday the 15th is barely a ripple. You're better off staying home.

Then, finally, the forecast gets interesting. Friday the 17th morning shows a little pulse, 2 ft from the SSW (energy 223), clean. But it’s a teaser.

The real standout is Saturday the 18th. That morning at Punta Sayulita, we get a 4 ft swell from the SSW, period 13 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 660 – moderate and solid. The wind is light and off from the east, promising clean, lined-up waves. This is a proper long-period groundswell, which at this beach-and-reef break should offer some nice, shaped-up walls. Not too big for most, but with that energy, it’s a serious step up.

Sunday the 19th morning is right up there with it. Another 5 ft SSW swell at a 12-second period, energy still strong at 677, and clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. It'll be a little more raw than Saturday, and the afternoon looks likely to get a cross-onshore breeze and some chop, but the morning window is the one to chase.

Best on offer: without a doubt, the mornings of Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Pick your day, get out there early, and you'll score.

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.
