The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the upcoming stretch for El Burro.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty grim outlook. This spot is sheltered and inconsistent at the best of times, and the next 16 days are a write-off. We've got a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a total dud. There are no good surf options on offer here.
The first few days are particularly hopeless. Sunday the 26th throws up a bit of energy with a 5ft NE swell and a moderate combined swell energy (384), but the 22 mph cross-shore wind from the NNE is just cooking the surface, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. Water temp is about 72°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
From there it just flatlines. Swell drops right away, and through the rest of July and into early August, we're looking at tiny, weak waves. The wind stays mostly cross-shore, often fresh, keeping things ugly. You get a couple of glassy or clean windows around the 1st and 2nd of August with light winds and even glass, but the swell is basically non-existent at 0.7ft to 1ft. You wouldn't get a ride on a boogie board.
There's a little pulse of energy later in the window, around Wednesday the 6th and Saturday the 9th of August, with 4ft to 5ft swells showing up again. The combined energy gets up there too (294 on the 5th, 293 on the 8th). But the wind is still cross or cross-onshore, the reports all say "poor surf conditions," and all that energy is just going to mean a crumbly, onshore mess at this beach-reef setup. It looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
This is one of those periods where you just leave the boards in the car. It’s a flat, windy stretch with no standout days. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's not a single session to get excited about.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at El Burro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Burro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for El Burro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
