The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing for Punta Sayulita over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. The first few days from Tuesday morning through to the middle of next week are pretty ordinary. We’ve got small, weak swell with combined wave energy sitting low, mostly around the 100 to 200 mark – that’s weak energy, not much push. You might find a clean little knee-high wave on some mornings when the wind is light, but the afternoon winds shift onshore and ruin it. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
The first real standout shows up on the morning of Monday the 21st of July. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the SSW with a moderate period of 14 seconds. The combined energy hits a solid 961, which is getting into that moderate-to-strong range. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the NE, so expect clean conditions. This is a proper pulse that will make Punta Sayulita break with some punch. It might be a bit much for beginners at that size but it’s a fantastic window for anyone with a bit of experience.
Through the rest of that week and into the next, the swell stays up, dropping a little but holding in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, with a nice long-period groundswell often from the WSW. The mornings are consistently the go. Thursday the 24th and Saturday the 26th of July mornings are both looking prime with glassy or near-glassy conditions, offshore or light cross-off breezes, and combined energy values well into the 600s and 800s. That’s clean, rippable surf on offer.
So overall, the best bet is to focus on the mornings from Monday the 21st of July right through to the end of the month. Don’t waste your time on the afternoons. Crowds can be an issue here at Punta Sayulita, but when the conditions line up like this, it’s worth dealing with for those clean, lined-up waves.
Stay stoked.

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.
