Surf: Punta Sayulita’s good wave reputation has lead to the place turning into a mini surf city. The reefs are mellow and ideally suited to beginners and longboarders. Rights off the point are slow and predictable for the surf school hordes, while the lefts at the rivermouth are steeper and faster. Environment: All amenities and a good place to hire a boat to the Punta Mita breaks. Surf: General: Sayulita's broad, sandy beach faces slightly north of west, and the headland beyond -- called Punta Sayulita -- swings to true north, thus absorbing much of the spring and summer S swell that graces points farther south and north on the Mainland Mexican coast. It's not world-class, nevertheless, a fun lefthander can be found breaking just off the beach on the north end of town, offering up clean, sectiony lines that are fun for longboarders and occasionally worthwhile for shortboarders (when a N-W or W swell shows up). The righthander in the middle of town is the main attraction, a mix of sand and rock delivering a shifty longboard wave most days that occasionally gets high performance on a solid swell. Tides: All tides Size: Waist high to just overhead Wind: E, SE, S Swell: SW, W, WNW Bottom: Sand and rock Paddling: Manageable. Spot Rating: Takes a precise swell to get good. Access: Lots of parking everywhere. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can get busy at main spots. Local Vibe: Pretty mellow crew. Environment: Pretty clean unless after a big rain. Hazards: Rocks on the inside, sea urchins, crowd. Season: January-December
