Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're not looking at any kind of pumping swell. The waves are tiny, real tiny, for the whole stretch. You're gonna see a lot of days with swell hanging around 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is mostly weak, sitting in the 100-200 range (moderate energy at best). The water is a toasty 89°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be comfortable in boardshorts.

The first real standout window is the morning of Friday, August 7th. We've got a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell, but the period is a very long 18 seconds, which means those waves will have real shape. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the NE. That's a major positive. The combined energy is a moderate 220. It's a beginner spot, so that tiny size is perfect. Just be aware that it's a beach and reef setup, and with that long period, the waves might be a bit straight on the beach, but the reef should line them up.

Saturday morning, August 8th, is marginal. The swell is still 2ft from the SSW, but the wind is a light cross-shore from the south. It's surfable, but nothing special.

The next real good bet is the morning of Tuesday, August 13th. We're back to 2ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is a moderate 218. It's not big, but it will be clean and fun for a beginner log.

But the best of the whole forecast is the morning of Friday, August 14th. The swell picks up to 3ft from the SSW with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is glassy from the east. The combined energy jumps to a strong 347. This is the biggest, cleanest window we get. The crowd thing is a factor because it's a beginner spot and it's exposed, so you might have some company. This is the one to aim for.

The morning of Saturday, August 15th is almost as good, with 3ft SW swell, glassy ENE wind, and strong energy at 377. Another solid morning.

The window then tapers off. The morning of Sunday, August 16th has 2ft with glassy wind (energy 219), and then from Monday the 17th onwards, it's a real struggle. The mornings stay glassy or clean, but the swell drops back to 1ft-2ft with weak energy. It's surfable for a longboard on a dead calm morning, but it's ordinary.

Overall, the standout is the Friday morning, August 14th. That 3ft glassy swell with the long period and strong energy is the best you're gonna get. The Saturday morning, August 15th is a very close second. After that, it's a long stretch of tiny, marginal waves.
