Burros Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, from Punta-Burros. Let me break down the next couple weeks in feet and miles per hour.

First spot on the radar is Burros – a solid advanced reef break. Water temp is right around normal for this time of year, nothin’ unusual.

We’ve got a sleepy start. Small, clean waves are tricklin’ in, but it’s not exactly pumpin’ yet.

Tuesday morning (July 7) serves up a glassy start with a 2ft SSW groundswell, period a bit long at 18 seconds. Energy is moderate (353). Surfable, but tiny. The afternoon gets cross-shore and messy.

Wednesday (July 8) is cross-shore again, still just 2-3ft. A nice glassy window opens in the afternoon, but it’s small.

Thursday (July 9) stays glassy, tiny 2ft SW swell – clean but ordinary. Friday through Saturday (July 10-11) hang around that 2ft mark with clean wind, but it’s just knee-high slop.

Sunday (July 12) drops off, and then we hit a long lull. From Monday (July 13) into the next weekend, it’s mostly poor with cross-onshore wind and tiny waves. A solid stretch of near-nothin’ for several days.

Then things start to wake up. Around Saturday July 18, we see a little bump with clean winds and a 2-2ft SW swell. Sunday July 19 is a beauty – offshore wind in the morning, glassy in the afternoon, with a 2ft SW swell and a long 17-second period. Energy hits 390. Clean, small, fun for a log.

Monday July 20 keeps it clean with 2ft swell and energy at 531 in the morning. The afternoon turns cross with a bigger 4ft bump but a short 10-second period – less interesting.

The big one, the real standout, is Tuesday July 21. That morning is glassy, dead calm, with a solid 7ft SW groundswell, period 12 seconds. Energy is strong at 1376. This is for experienced surfers only – way too big for beginners. The swell direction is right on for Burros’ optimum WNW. Expect powerful, well-shaped waves on the reef. The afternoon goes onshore, so get out there first light.

Then Wednesday July 22 keeps the party goin’ – another 7ft WSW groundswell, glassy in the morning, with energy at 1429. Another top-tier session for the crew that knows what they’re doin’.

So here’s the bottom line: the first week is a snooze, with a long flat patch mid-month. But that third week of July? That’s where the magic is – July 21 and 22 are the sessions to chase.

Rusty.
