The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what Burros has lined up.
Pretty quiet run overall. Swell stays small for most of the 16 days and there’s no real size at any point. It’s a mellow stretch unless you’re on a log or a foamie.
Monday the 9th of August afternoon is the first chance: a 0.6m SSW swell rolls in with light cross-off wind out of the NW and wave energy in the moderate range (147). The surf is clean enough but very ordinary.
The slight highlight in the first few days comes Tuesday the 11th of August morning. Still small at 0.5m from the SW, but with NNE offshore winds at about 12 km/h and moderate energy (261), the surface is clean. Easy paddling.
The best of the whole run is Friday the 14th of August morning. Swell is only 0.6m, but the period is a long 18 seconds from the SSW, giving a decent groundswell feel. The combined energy reads a moderate 346 – the highest in the outlook – and the wind is glassy from the east at just 5 km/h. The water temp is about 88°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. This is the cleanest session you’ll see.
After Friday, the whole thing fades. Swell stays between 0.6m and 0.7m through the 16th to 19th, but winds turn cross-onshore and periods drop. Thunderstorms are a risk, too. Not worth chasing.
By August 21st, the swell drops to just 0.4m and energy falls into the weak zone (80). The following weekend brings tiny 0.3m to 0.4m SW swell with a very long period of 21 seconds – basically no push, but if you’re desperate, glassy conditions show up Monday the 24th morning with light offshore NE winds.
There’s no real stand-out size anytime soon. Pick the cleanest windows – especially the morning of Friday August 14th – for the best small wave surfing. Everything else is pretty flat or ordinary.

Information about the Burros Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Burros provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Burros can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Burros 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 (Burros) 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 Burros 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.
Burros is 27 km (17 miles) from Puerto Vallarta. If you plan a holiday in Nayarit, look for hotels and other accommodation in Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
