The Lowdown
Alright, grab your log ’cause Punta Sayulita is the only spot worth talking about for the next couple weeks. The water’s sitting at 89°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s like a warm bath.
The whole deal is the mornings – every afternoon the wind gets shifty and ruins the party, but the early slots are where the magic is. We kick off Monday, September 7th with a clean 2ft swell from the SSW at 14 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze out of the ENE. The combined energy is moderate at 396 – enough push for a fun little ride. That’s the standout of the whole run: glassy, clean, and perfect for a beginner.
The following mornings keep it going. Tuesday morning brings a 3ft swell from the west at 10 seconds, clean cross-off winds. Wednesday morning drops to 2ft, but the period is a very long 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell – and it goes glassy by the afternoon, though you’ll want to be out before the wind picks up. Thursday morning is glassy again with 3ft from the SW at 16 seconds.
There’s a gap of junk afternoons from Thursday through to Sunday, but Saturday morning, September 12th is glassy with 2ft from the SW at 14 seconds. Sunday morning is glassy too, but only 2ft and a bit ordinary.
The second week has some promise. Monday, September 14th morning has a clean offshore breeze from the east, 1ft at a very long 18 seconds – small but clean. The best bet in the second week might be Sunday, September 20th with a clean 2ft from the SW at 19 seconds, offshore east wind, and strong energy at 338. That’s a long way out so don’t book your flights yet, but it’s worth watching.
This spot is very consistent, and crowds are *sometimes* around, but with these small, clean morning windows, you’ll score. The afternoons are a bust, but for a dawn patrol, this is a solid run.

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.
