Burros Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

We’ve got a slow start, no doubt. The first few days are small, but the real gem is shaping up to be Thursday the 3rd of September, with a run of clean, glassy mornings. The water is cooking at 89°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub.

Sunday the 30th kicks off with a little 2ft SW swell from the afternoon, but with a cross-off wind it’s tiny and only just surfable. Nothing to rush for.

Monday the 31st morning sees a tiny 2ft SW swell with a clean offshore NE breeze, but it’s really just a longboard or foiling wave. The afternoon gets messy with cross-shore wind.

Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are still small. Wednesday morning though, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds and glassy conditions – now we’re talking. The combined energy hits 445 (moderate), and it’s clean. That’s a nice little session if you’re sneaking out.

Thursday the 3rd is the pick of the first week. The morning is glassy, calm wind, with a 5ft SW swell at 11 seconds. Combined energy is 682 (moderate). The waves will be clean, lined up, and with that offshore direction from the east, Burros (Punta-Burros) is going to be offering some proper fun ones. This is the best wave of the early stretch.

Friday the 4th morning holds up with 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds – that’s groundswell, long period, so expect more push and bigger gaps between sets. Clean with a cross-off breeze. Good.

Saturday the 5th morning is similar, 3ft SW, clean, but the afternoon gets a bit bumpy.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are still surfable in the mornings, but the quality drops off with onshore winds and some rain showers rolling in. The swell is around 4ft to 4ft from the west, but the wind is not helping.

Tuesday the 8th morning is a nice return to clean conditions: 3ft WNW swell, light offshore breeze, combined energy 357. A solid, fun session.

After that, from the 9th through the 10th, it gets small again – 2ft to 2ft – and the afternoons are blown out. Still some clean mornings for the patient ones.

Now, here’s the big one. Friday the 11th of September morning. The forecast shows a massive 12ft WSW swell, period 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a colossal 3184 (very strong). The wind is light and offshore from the east, so it’s clean. But listen – this is way too big for this break. It’s an advanced reef setup, and at that size, it’s only for experts. Beginners, stay well clear. The afternoon drops to 5ft but gets messy with cross-on wind.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th drop right back down to tiny 2ft to 2ft swells, clean mornings, but nothing to write home about.

Monday the 14th is the last day in the window, with 1ft SW swell and a long 18-second period. Glassy in the afternoon, but it’s tiny. A longboard might get a glide.

So, the standout is Thursday the 3rd of September morning – glassy, 5ft SW, clean, and the best quality of the run. The second standout is Friday the 11th morning for the sheer size, but that’s only for experts and it’s a long way out so keep an eye on it.

Rusty out.
