Booking surf trips months in advance is gambling.

Tiny waves or flat spells happen - even during peak season. And surf that's too big is no fun either. Don't gamble. Go when the waves are perfect for you.

Four nights at Sayulita

Nayarit, Mexico · Oct 9 – Oct 13

The swell builds Saturday and peaks Sunday at 4 to 6 feet before easing through Monday. Long, forgiving rights over sand and cobblestone, 83 degree water, and early October sits ahead of the winter crowds. Town is a few blocks of cobbled streets, taco stands, galleries and mezcal bars.

A one-time fishing village that grew into Mexico's definitive boho surf town: cobblestone streets strung with papel picado, golf carts instead of cars, galleries and mezcal bars next to taco stands, and Huichol artisans selling beadwork on the plaza.

Points play: Punta Mita cluster (W closest) (Marriott), 20–30 min from the break.
