The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the next 16 days for Punta Sayulita. Let's get into it.
The water is sitting at 89°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get this time of year. The swell energy is moderate for the first few days, with readings around 389, but don't get too excited. The best bet is gonna be Thursday morning, July 30th. We've got a clean 3ft SSW swell rolling in with a nice 14-second period, and the wind is light and offshore from the East. It's a very consistent spot, so you can expect some fun, clean waves for the beginners and longboarders. The afternoon, though, the wind swings onshore and it gets messy.
Friday morning, July 31st, is still worth a look. The swell drops a touch to 2ft, same SSW direction, period holds at 13 seconds, and the wind is a cross-off from the NE, keeping things clean. The energy is still moderate at 206.
Saturday morning, August 1st, offers a smaller 2ft SSW swell, clean with an offshore breeze, but it's just ordinary. The energy has dropped to 160.
Sunday morning, August 2nd, is the last half-decent call for a bit. The swell is only 2ft from the SW, but the wind is glassy. It's surfable, but not a standout.
Then we hit a long dry spell. From Monday, August 3rd, all the way through to Tuesday, August 11th, the swell drops way down (1.0ft to 2ft), and the energy falls off a cliff, often under 100. The afternoons are all onshore junk. Forget about it. There's a gap of over a week with nothing to recommend.
The surf tries to make a comeback on Wednesday morning, August 12th. The swell bumps back up to 2ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE. The energy is solid at 251. That's promising. Thursday morning, August 13th, is similar: 2ft SW, 16 seconds, cross-off from the NE, energy at 244. Both are clean and offer the best waves after the long flat spell, but they're still small.
Friday morning, August 14th, is a smaller echo of that, with a 2ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and a cross-off wind. It's ordinary.
The real standout is the Thursday morning, July 30th. It's the biggest swell of the period at 3ft, cleanest conditions, and the best energy. The Wednesday and Thursday mornings of the second week (August 12 & 13) are a decent second choice, but they're a long way off and the swell is smaller.
Rusty out.

A general guide to surfing at Punta Sayulita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
