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.

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.
