Table - best surf conditions forecast for Burros over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty long outlook for Punta Burros, and I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but the first few days are more about getting a tan than getting a barrel.
The first real whisper of anything rideable comes on the 12th of July, but it’s weak. Right off the bat, the water is sitting at a very unusual 89°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll be surfing in a bath. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds and a combined energy of 156 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-shore from the WNW at 9 mph, making it choppy and poor. Honestly, not worth the paddle.
Monday the 13th morning is the first real chance to get a clean wave. It’s glassy with a 2 foot SSW swell, but it’s still very ordinary. The energy is only 146 (moderate). After that, Tuesday through to the weekend is a tease. You’ll see small, clean conditions with glassy or cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny (1 foot to 2 feet) and the energy is weak. It’s surfable, but only just.
Now, the good stuff starts to build on Sunday the 19th. The morning has a 2 foot SSW swell (17 sec period) with clean conditions and a combined energy of 354 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at 3 mph. The afternoon goes glassy with a 2 foot swell. This is where it starts to get interesting.
Monday the 20th is a standout. The morning is glassy with a 3 foot SSW swell (16 sec) and a combined energy of 388 (moderate). The wind is dead calm. It’s clean, it’s consistent for a reef break, and it’s the best we’ve seen so far. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore from the NNE.
The real highlight, though, is Wednesday the 22nd. The morning session at Burros is the pick of the entire outlook. We’ve got a 4 foot swell from the WSW, with a period of 12 seconds and a combined energy of 584 (strong). The wind is offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, which means clean, peeling waves on this reef. The swell is starting to get a bit of size, but it’s not too big for an advanced surfer. This is where you want to be. The afternoon is a bit bumpier, but the morning is money.
From the 23rd to the 27th, the swell hangs around the 3 to 4 foot range from the WSW to W, with mostly clean conditions. The energy stays strong (428 to 568). The 26th of July is worth a mention for a glassy morning with a 2 foot, 19-second period groundswell – that long period will make it peel nicely at Burros, but it might be a bit fat on the sets.
Overall, don’t bother for the first week. The 20th is the first real clean day, but the 22nd of July is the one to circle. It’s not huge, but the offshore wind and decent swell make it the best on offer for this reef. The later part of the second week has some solid, clean conditions, but that Wednesday morning is the standout.
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.
