The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty and I’m looking down the barrel at the next couple of weeks for Punta Burros.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some surf on the table, but it’s not a huge start. Wednesday the 2nd is a write-off – it’s a messy, choppy 5ft from the SW with a 16 mph cross-onshore wind ripping across it, so save your energy.
Things turn around nicely though. Thursday morning the 3rd is where I’d paddle out. We’ve got clean, 4ft waves from the SW with a light offshore breeze from the ENE at just 6 mph. The energy is solid (497), and with the offshore wind, it’ll be lined up nicely. This is the standout of the first few days. Friday morning the 4th is also looking clean with offshore winds and 3ft swell from the SSW, and Saturday morning the 5th will dish up more of the same. That run of clean mornings from Thursday through Sunday the 6th is the sweet spot.
The water temp is sitting at 89° which is *much* warmer than normal for this time of year – over 4° warmer, so you’ll be in boardies for sure.
Sunday afternoon the 6th has a 3ft pulse from the W with glassy conditions and cross-off wind – that’s a sneaky good session. Then Monday morning the 7th turns glassy with 3ft from the W – that’s about as good as it gets for small wave perfection. Clean, no wind, 435 energy.
After that, the swell starts to fade through the second week. From the 8th through to the 17th, we’re looking at waist-high or smaller waves, mostly in the 2ft to 3ft range. There are still some clean windows – like Thursday morning the 10th with 3ft and glassy conditions, and the mornings of the 12th, 13th, and 14th will have clean, small waves. The energy drops into the 100s and 200s by then.
For a late call, Monday the 14th morning is glassy with 1ft – tiny, but if you’re after a longboard and total solitude, it’s there. Overall, the first four days are the pick of the bunch. Get it early.
Rusty.

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.
