Sayulita in April

Warm, dry and calmer once Easter has passed. A good month for a quieter trip with high-season weather.

Weather: Dry season, about 1 rainy days
Day and night: 30° / 18 °C · 86° / 64 °F
The sea: 24 °C · 76 °F
Light: 6:43 am to 7:21 pm
Crowds: Steady

Surf

A mix of late northwest and early south swells; mornings are usually cleanest.

Swell averages about 1.8 ft at 8 s from the W; the wind is usually from the NNW (Open-Meteo, 2016–2025).

Crowds and prices

In 2027 the Pascua week after Easter (March 29 to April 4) keeps the start of April busy with Mexican families; after that the crowds thin out as high season winds down.

Still high-season rates on most listings (high season runs roughly November to April), with shoulder deals easier to find after the Easter weeks.

Medians of the nightly prices rentals published, gathered in October 2026; US dollars.
