Sayulita Surfing

Surf Boards Galore in Sayulita

Surfing is a skill that requires a certain set of conditions: wind and waves!  If you don’t have ‘em, you don’t surf – or at least, you can’t show off your talent or catch much of a ride.  It just so happens that some of the best conditions are in the Riviera Nayarit, Mexico, on the Sayulita surf, giving the town its much-deserved reputation as one of the best surfing spots in the world.

Sayulita Weather

Even in the summer months when waves on the Nayarit coastline are smaller, surfers can still catch a 3-foot wave for a good 20-second ride.  The consistently warm weather and water make for decent surfing conditions year-round.  With good winds from the west and northwest, resulting in rising and falling tides, the ocean here can yield waves up to 9-feet high and between 500 – 1,650 feet long, making it ideal for longboard surfing.

Surf Skills

If you love to surf, it doesn’t matter if you’re a surf star or a newbie.  Sayulita culture is easygoing and casual: anything goes!  But one thing’s for certain.  The surfers here take their sport quite seriously, so if you’re a beginner, paddle softly around the local experts as they maneuver deliberately through the water to catch that perfect wave and ride it in.

Tip: Beginner surfers are encouraged to practice early in the morning before the experts jump in to avoid getting in their way.

Surf Lessons & Surfboard Rentals

There are several places along the main beach that provide surf lessons and plenty of surf shops that offer board rentals and purchases both along the beach and in town.  Since most Sayulita residents speak English, be sure to ask around for the best prices on quality lessons that teach not only skill but also safety and etiquette. Then you’ll be ready for the thrill of riding the waves in Sayulita. Cowabunga!

  1. Great to have another info source on the Riviera Nayarit! Felt a bit “lonesome’ since it seems there aren’t many reporting on “n.o.PV”.
    For my part, I am just trying to spread my love for this fantastic area to German speakers since this destination seems to be largely unkown in Europe/Germany, Austria, Switzerland.
    Good luck! Enjoy your time.

    • Thanks Vallartina for the kudos on our website! Hopefully, German tourists will be able to appreciate this resource too, even though it’s in English. The Riviera Nayarit sure is a fantastic vacation spot, isn’t it? Feel free to share our website with others, if you like. =)

  2. See, for German speaking tourists it is hard to find updated and relyable info on our area on the web. (Cancun serves this clientel way better) So, most have to go through English or Spanish pages. Now, the North African and Middle East destinations being down because of known issues, but the Euro being strong, tourists are looking for new spots. I think the Riviera Nayarit is an excellent choice, is all about promoting it.

    No problem to set link to your blog, too. I do not see recommended links on your page.

    Have a beautiful day, ¡que les vaya muy bien!
