Burros Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what Punta Burros has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, don’t get too excited for the next few days. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to work through. The first real suggestion of something surfable doesn’t pop up until Saturday morning the 22nd, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary with a tiny 1ft SSW swell. The conditions are clean with a light cross-off breeze, so you *could* get wet, but it’s not exactly going to fire.

We’ll be in a holding pattern through to the end of August. The swell stays stubbornly small, mostly between 1ft and 2ft from the SSW/SW, with the occasional clean window. Tuesday morning the 25th looks glassy with a 2ft SW swell, and Thursday morning the 27th offers a clean offshore from the NE on a 2ft SW swell. It’s all surfable but very ordinary.

The combined energy is building though. It starts weak around 83 on the 21st and creeps up, but it’s not until the end of the month that it starts to feel like something’s brewing.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday morning the 28th is the first real standout window. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSW swell with a light offshore from the NE. The combined energy jumps to 314 (moderate) and the guidance says to expect good surf conditions. This is clean and promising, the kind of session that makes the wait worthwhile.

But the real mark on the calendar? That’s Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd of September. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SW with an 867 combined energy (strong) and glassy conditions. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the one you want to keep an eye on. It’s a little over a week away, so there’s some uncertainty, but the ingredients look right.

Then, for the experienced crew, the morning of Friday the 4th of September is the big boy window. The swell cranks up to 7ft from the WSW with a combined energy of 1759 (very strong) and clean cross-off wind from the east. The report says excellent for experienced surfers, and at that size, you’ll want your wetsuit straps tight. It’s an advanced-only wave at that point, but the quality is there.

Honestly, for this two-week stretch, the pick of the bunch for the everyday surfer is Wednesday afternoon the 2nd of September: 5ft SW swell, glassy, and building energy. For the big-wave boys, Friday morning the 4th of September is the one to circle—7ft from the WSW, clean skies, and proper grunt.

Stay patient through the small stuff. It’ll pay off.

Rusty.
