The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down what’s coming our way for Burros over the next couple weeks.
We're looking at a classic run of reef-break action. The first bit of the week ahead is shaping up nicely, starting this Wednesday with clean, small surf. Around 3ft of SW groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds, meaning it’s got a nice bit of shape. Water temps are sitting at 88° with the anomaly reading about 2° above normal, so it’s a touch warmer than you'd usually expect for this time of year. That fine NE breeze in the morning is going to keep it awfully clean. It’s a consistent setup and with the swell direction being WSW-optimum, this is a solid call.
Come Thursday morning, things will drop off a bit – small crossing wind, only 2ft, and it’s looking pretty ordinary. We’ve got a few days where the mornings are the ticket. Now, let's talk standouts. The highlight that really has my attention is the morning of Monday the 27th. We’re seeing 3ft of SW swell building to 4ft by the afternoon, period at 16 to 17 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reading hits 680 by Monday PM, climbing to 943 on Tuesday morning. That's moderate to strong energy pushing in, and with the wind staying cross-off, those waves are going to be clean and lined up. This is expert territory though, pushing over 3ft on a reef, so not one for the groms.
Looking further out to Thursday the 30th, the morning session is another beauty. It’s clean, cross-off breeze from the east, and the swell is a solid 5ft from the WSW at 13 seconds. The energy is strong, reading 1009. That's a proper pulse, but for a reef break that’s tall enough that only the experienced crew should be out there. A glassy morning on the 1st of August also stands out with 4ft from the WSW.
As we move into the second week, the options become smaller and more spread out. Friday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August both have clean mornings with 3-5ft swell from the WSW, but the consistency is less certain at this range. Still promising, just keep an eye on it.
Overall, the first week is your best bet, especially Monday the 27th and Thursday the 30th. Burros is a consistent reef and with the right wind, it’ll be firing.

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.
