The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let's break down this next stretch of surf. It's not going to be huge, but there are a few clean windows where the ocean will line up just right.
The first few days are pretty slow. Wednesday the 9th is surfable, but it's small and a bit bumpy. Not worth rushing out for unless you just need to get wet.
We finally get a decent window on Thursday the 10th. The swell picks up to about 3ft, and that east wind keeps it clean in the morning. The swell period is a solid 16 seconds, so there's some punch behind it. Friday the 11th morning is similar, with 3ft waves and a light NE breeze. Good chance to grab a few before the day gets going.
The surf backs off again over the weekend. We're down to 2ft and the winds are all over the place. It's a good weekend for other things. There is a tiny window early Monday the 14th where it turns glassy, but the swell is only 2ft and very long-period at 18 seconds. Might be slow and a bit soft.
Now, the real action is shaping up for a week from now. Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st are looking like the standouts of the whole forecast. The energy in the water jumps significantly, especially on Saturday with a reading of 392. The swell stays around 2ft but the light land breeze in the morning should have Burros (Punta-Burros) looking clean and lined up. Sunday the 21st also holds up well with 3ft of southwest swell and similar clean conditions.
Burros is a reef break that likes this west-northwest swell, and it handles these longer-period waves well. Water temp is normal for this time of year. Just be aware, crowds are possible, especially if the surf forecast holds. So, plan to get in the water early to make the most of it.
To be honest, those two mornings, Sunday the 21st and Monday the 22nd, look like the best on offer. They're over a week out, so things can change, but it's something to be stoked about.
Alright, keep an eye on it and I'll catch you in the water. Rusty out.

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.
