Surfed there a few years ago, perfect left peeling swell. Wind was nonexistent the 3 days I was there (january 1-4)....but heard up north Punta del Burro had sick side-on conditions in the winter.

Beers and boards are cheap in Sayulita...$1 Pacifico's and $6 board rentals, bring the kites just in case.

Good luck....

Bring at least a 12. I've been there 5 or 6 times, and wind is not common, but I have seen it blow 16-18 knots on occasion. I wouldn't try to kite the break at Sayulita, it would be dead on shore if it blew at the prevailing westerly. A few miles south around Pta. Mita, you would have side or slightly side on, and if a south swell was working it could be sick.

Your best bet in Sayulita is surfing. If you feel like driving about 30 minutes to Bucerias there is some kiting to be had there, I think the winds are best there in the spring.

Not likely to find wind there this time of year-surfing yes. Nice wind south in Bucerias April - May . the seabreeze comes up almost every day after lunch to about 12m.
