Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on the Punta Sayulita zone. We've got a solid run of small, clean surf on the way, but keep your expectations in check – this isn't big-wave territory.

Right off the bat, the water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 31°C, which is a real bonus.

We kick things off on Thursday morning, July 2nd. It's small, with 0.7m (2ft) of SSW swell, but that's a long-period groundswell of 16 seconds pushing in. The energy is moderate (227), and the key here is the clean, offshore wind from the ENE. The swell direction matches the optimum, so Punta Sayulita will be offering up some clean, lined-up sets. It's a beginner-friendly break, but that long period will give it some shape for everyone.

Friday morning, July 3rd, is the real standout. It's glassy, dead calm with 0.7m (2ft) of SSW groundswell. That's about as perfect as it gets when the sea is flat as a lake. The combined energy dips a little (210), but with zero wind, you'll be sharing smooth, long rides. This is your best bet for the whole outlook, hands down.

Saturday morning, July 4th, keeps the glassy conditions with a 0.6m (2ft) SSW swell. It's surfable and clean, but nothing to write home about. Sunday morning, July 5th, is another glassy jewel with 0.6m (2ft) SSW, and wave energy jumps nicely to 258. You'll find some fun, clean shoulders.

The following week sees a mix. Monday morning, July 6th, is glassy again with 0.7m (2ft) SSW and energy climbing to 383. Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, is the biggest of the run so far with 0.9m (3ft) SSW, a very long 18-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy kicks up to 556 – moderate to strong – so those sets will have some push, but that long period means they'll be walled up, best for a longboard or a smooth line at this beach-and-reef setup.

From Wednesday, July 8th, through the rest of the first week and into the second, the trend continues: small, clean mornings with offshore or glassy winds, and choppy afternoons as the sea breeze kicks in. Crowds are "sometimes" a thing here, so you'll have plenty of space, especially on these small mornings.

After Monday, July 13th, the swell really backs off. Tuesday, July 14th, sees energy drop to a weak 98, and the waves are poor and cross-shore. Wednesday, July 15th, and Thursday, July 16th, are only giving us weak, ordinary conditions. Then on Friday, July 17th, a new 0.4m (1ft) WNW swell from a different direction (19 seconds) shows promise with clean conditions, but it's very small.

Overall, the first week is the window. Don't expect any thumping surf, but for smooth, clean conditions in warm water, the mornings are where it's at. There's a noticeable gap of a few days around mid-week where things get poor, but that long-range Friday the 17th could surprise if the forecast holds.

Stay stoked, and I'll see you out there.

Rusty.
