Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking.
First off, it’s a pretty quiet spell. We’ve got small waves on the cards but not much to get the heart racing until we get further out. There’s a definite gap here where the surf is just too ordinary to get excited about for the first week or so.
The main event is Burros, a reef break for the advanced crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there. The combined swell energy starts off weak, around 176, and slowly builds through the week, but the waves stay small.
Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th offer tiny 2ft SSW swells with glassy conditions in the mornings, but the wave quality is just very ordinary. Not worth paddling out for. Monday the 6th morning looks a bit better: 2ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, glassy, and the energy reaches 321. It’s a long period groundswell, which at a reef setup will give some shape, but it’s still small. The Monday afternoon goes cross-shore and messy.
Tuesday the 7th morning has a 2ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period, clean offshore wind, and energy around 358. The swell is tiny but the conditions are clean, so it’s a looker for the patient surfer on a log or a longboard.
We then go through a few days of nothing really changing – small swells, average conditions. It’s not until the morning of Friday the 17th of July that things finally turn on. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SW, 14-second period, with a clean offshore wind and combined energy at 678. That’s the standout for the whole forecast. It’s moderate wave energy, the conditions are clean, and the direction is close to the optimum WNW. This is the session to aim for if you can wait.
The Saturday the 18th morning also looks promising with another 4ft SW swell at 632 energy, but the wind is cross-offshore, so not quite as perfect as the Friday. Still, a solid option.
So, overall: the first week is a write-off for any real surf. The standouts are clearly the Friday and Saturday mornings of the 17th and 18th of July. That’s where the juice is. Get on it.

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.
