The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Punta Burros. This is a solid reef setup for the advanced crew, and it handles a good amount of swell. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 88°, so that’s a nice little bonus for the skin.
The forecast kicks off on Saturday morning, July 25th, but honestly, it’s a bit of a write-off. We’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the SW with a long 21-second period, but the wind is a cross-on mess and the combined energy is only 420 – weak sauce. The surf is poor. Saturday afternoon cleans up a little, but it’s still marginal.
Sunday the 26th morning is where it starts to get interesting. The swell lifts to 3ft from the SW, period drops to 18 seconds, but the wind turns cross-offshore from the east. The combined energy hits 488 and the surf is clean. That’s a proper session for the more experienced crew, and the water is still that warm anomaly.
The standout window kicks off Monday morning, July 27th. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW, period at a nice 17 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the east, and the combined energy jumps to 685. The surf is clean and very good. This is the call for the week. The reef will be handling that long-period groundswell beautifully, and with the offshore flow, it’ll be a proper session. Tuesday morning the 28th is also a strong contender with 3ft from the SW, cross-off wind, and a combined energy of 892 – that’s the highest energy of the period. Clean conditions again.
Wednesday the 29th holds clean 3ft surf, and Thursday the 30th morning is still clean with 3ft from the WSW, but the period shortens to 12 seconds. Friday morning July 31st is a gem: glassy, 3ft from the WSW, and it’s clean. That’s a beautiful way to end the week.
After that, things taper off. The first week of August sees the swell dropping to 2ft and below, with combined energy falling under 200. The surf becomes very ordinary for days. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for from around August 2nd through the 9th, with only a few 1ft to 2ft days that are surfable but not exciting. The winds are mostly clean, but the swell just isn’t there.
The best of the entire run? Lock in Monday morning, July 27th at Burros. That 4ft SW groundswell with the light offshore east wind and 685 energy will have the reef running clean. Tuesday morning, July 28th is almost as good with the highest energy of the period at 892. After that, Friday morning the 31st with glassy conditions is a solid little session.
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.
