Alright folks, Rusty here with the rundown on Punta Sayulita. We’ve got a slow cooker of a first week, but the back half of the forecast has some proper juice. The water’s running at a very warm 89°F – way above the usual for this time of year, so you’ll feel that hot tub vibe when you hit the water at Punta Sayulita.
The first real green light is the morning of Friday, July 18th. After a bunch of days with tiny waves and messy afternoons, we get a clean 0.8m (3ft) SSW swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 257, and with a light cross-off breeze out of the NE, it’s gonna be smooth and rideable. Nothing massive, but clean fun.
Sunday, July 19th morning is a step up. There’s a risk of thunderstorms early, but the swell bumps to 0.7m (2ft) from the SW with a proper long 17-second period – some real groundswell character. The energy reads 405, and with a light cross-off SSE wind, the waves should hold shape nicely on the point.
The standout to plan around is Thursday morning, July 23rd. That’s the big one. Swell hits 1.4m (5ft) from the SW, 13-second period, and combined energy of 615 – moderate but solid. The wind is a light cross-off from the NE, and conditions are rated very good. That’s some punchy, well-organized surf for the beach-and-reef setup. At 1.4m it’s got some weight – not for the total beginner, but a fun size for anyone with a bit of experience.
Friday the 24th of July morning is right behind it: 1.6m (5ft) SW swell, 12-second period, energy at 729. Clean cross-off wind again. That’s expert territory at over 5ft, so keep that in mind. If you’re confident, it’ll be a ripper.
Saturday the 25th of July morning goes glassy. Swell from the WSW at 1.3m (4ft), 12 seconds, with 518 energy. A glassy southeast breeze means no wind bumps – just clean, peeling waves.
The afternoons are pretty much all blown out with onshore or cross-onshore winds, so stick to the morning windows for the best score. Crowds can pop up “sometimes”, so the earlier you’re in the water on the good days, the better.
In short: the first week is a wait-and-see. From the 18th morning onward, things pick up, and the 23rd and 24th are your best bets. A bit far out, but the signs are looking good.
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.
