Sayulita surf guide
The wave. The main wave is a right that breaks at the river mouth over a sand bottom studded with rocks and a few reef patches. It is usually tummy to chest high, so longboards are common. A faster left breaks on bigger swells, and surf schools teach on the sandy beach break in front of the fishing boats.
Who it suits. Beginners belong at the beach break in front of the boats, ideally with an instructor. Intermediates surf the right on moderate days, and bigger north swells on the right and left suit advanced surfers.
Read the full guide, with its sources (checked Oct 2026).

Medians from years of hindcast, not a forecast (how we read the hindcast). Water temperatures come from an offshore model grid, which reads a little warm on an upwelling coast. More on the break in the Mexico guide. Head to head: Puerto Escondido vs Sayulita.
