Surfing in Sayulita – Waves for all Levels
Sayulita is home to a long right-hander that breaks over rocks. At the southern end of the beach, there is a sandy patch that is great for beginners and surfers seeking smaller waves. As you move north, the waves get progressively larger.
One of the main attractions of this beach is its consistent surf break. The best time to catch the waves in Sayulita is from December to early April when the north swells hit. Although the waves aren’t as high in the summer months, they can still offer a short, yet exciting, ride.
Overall, Sayulita is the perfect destination for the average surfer looking for a super surfing experience.
