Punta Sayulita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, we're looking at a run of small, clean conditions, but it's not going to be a non-stop party. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for any decent waves, so you'll be waiting a bit. The real standout mornings are the ones with glassy or light offshore winds and a bit of punch from the swell.

The first real chance of anything decent is Friday morning, 31 July. Punta Sayulita is a beach and reef set-up that's exposed to the swell. We've got a 2 ft SSW swell with a period of 13 seconds and a combined energy of 206 (moderate). The wind is a light 3 mph from the NE, which is a cross-offshore breeze, so the surface will be clean. It's not massive, but it's the best on offer early on.

Saturday morning, 1 August, is a similar story with a 2 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and 158 energy. The wind is a light 6 mph from the NE, keeping it clean, but the conditions are just ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

The morning of Sunday, 2 August, is a true standout. The wind drops to zero from the east, making it glassy. The swell is 2 ft from the SW, 13-second period, and the combined energy is 99 (weak). It's tiny, but if you're on a longboard, that glassy surface will be heaven.

Skip ahead to Thursday morning, 6 August, for another little window. We get a 2 ft SW swell, 13-second period, and 106 energy with a 9 mph ENE wind, which is offshore. That's a clean, fun little wave.

Now, the real highlight of the whole run is the morning of Saturday, 8 August. There's a 2 ft SSW swell, 16-second period (a nice long-period groundswell), and the combined energy is 228 (moderate). The wind is a light 3 mph from the NE, making it glassy. This is the best consistency and quality of the entire forecast. The conditions are clean, and the swell has some proper shape to it due to the long period. Keep in mind, with that long period, the waves might break a bit straight at the beach, but it's still the pick of the bunch. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Wednesday morning, 12 August, and Thursday morning, 13 August, also offer clean 2 ft SW swells with 16-second periods and moderate energy, with light offshore winds. They are solid options, but not quite as good as the 8th.

The final standout is Saturday morning, 15 August. We get a 2 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 304 (moderate). The wind is 3 mph from the ESE, leaving it glassy. This is another top-tier morning, with a bit more push than the 8th. It's a promising call, but keep in mind it's a week and a half out, so things can change.

The afternoons are pretty much all a miss with onshore winds, so no point even looking. The crowds at Punta Sayulita can be a problem sometimes, so for the standouts, get in early. The swell is never over 5 ft, so it's fine for all levels.
