The Lowdown
Rusty here again, lookin’ at the same picture in feet. So straight up: this 16-day stretch for the Burro is a tough one. There’s a long dry spell with no real surf worth mentioning until the middle of August. Wind’s mostly cross or cross-on, and the swell is small and short-period. The water’s a touch warmer than average at about 73°F, but that’s small comfort.
The only time you might wanna bother is Saturday morning, August 15th. We got a little NNE swell running about 4–5 ft, with a short period of 8 seconds—not gonna peel like a dream. But the wind finally plays ball: a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at around 15 km/h. That’ll clean it right up. The combined energy is 230 (moderate), and for the first time in this whole outlook, they’re calling it “surfable.” That’s your moment.
After that, it falls apart again with onshore and cross-shore chop. For a little sheltered reef spot like El Burro, that’s game over. Unless you’re into kiting, where the stronger winds on other days might actually offer something. But for a surf, keep your eyes on that Saturday morning. That’s the only shot.
Rusty.

Information about the El Burro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Burro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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. If you surf the same spot (El Burro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
