G’day, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a waiting game at Burros for the next couple of weeks. The early part of the outlook is pretty bleak, but there’s a real standout day lurking in the second week that’s got my attention.
Alright, let’s get into it. The water is sitting at 88°F – that’s 5°F above the long-term average, so it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a weird one, but it’s what we’ve got.
We start with a long dry spell. From Friday the 3rd right through to the morning of Friday the 17th, the surf is just not worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak to moderate (values between 78 and 557). The winds are a real problem too – mostly cross-on or cross, creating choppy, messy conditions. We get a few glassy mornings, like Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th, and Wednesday the 8th, but the swell is so small and weak that it’s barely surfable. There’s a long-period groundswell from the SSW on Tuesday the 7th (18 seconds) and Wednesday the 8th (16 seconds), which can mean better shape but also longer waits between sets. Even with clean conditions, it’s just too ordinary to get excited about.
Now, the real standout. Saturday the 18th is the one. The morning session is the pick of the whole 16-day window. We’ve got a clean 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 779 – that’s a strong, punchy wave. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean and lined up. This is a proper reef break, and with that longer period, the waves will have some real shape and power. It’s not huge, but it’s well overhead for a competent surfer. For a spot rated “advanced,” this is the day to call in sick. The afternoon won’t be as good with a cross-shore wind and chop, so get in early.
Overall, it’s a slow start, but that Saturday the 18th morning is a genuine standout. For the rest, you’re better off waiting for the forecasts to change, because they usually do. Keep an eye on it.
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.
