Table - best surf conditions forecast for Burros over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a classic mixed bag for Burros. This reef break is a proper advanced wave, and right now it’s feeling the effects of a long-period groundswell from the SSW. The water is sitting at 89°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a bath out there.
The first few days are a struggle. Friday morning, July 10th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period, and the combined energy is weak at 201. It’s just surfable, but with cross-off winds, it’s nothing to write home about. Saturday morning, July 11th, is a little cleaner with offshore NE wind, but the swell is still tiny at 2ft (14 seconds). The morning of Sunday, July 12th, is the same story – small, clean, but weak. The rest of that first week is a write-off: tiny 1ft to 2ft swells and onshore winds ruining any chance of a decent wave. That’s a big gap of nothing days from the 13th to the 18th.
Now, hold onto your leashes, because things start to wake up. The best of the whole run looks set for Sunday, July 19th. That morning, we’ve got a 2ft SSW swell pumping in with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to 370 (moderate), and with a light ENE cross-off breeze, it’ll be clean. This is a strong standout for the period. The setup is a reef, and that long period means the waves will have proper shape and power, though the long gaps between sets will make you work for them.
Monday, July 20th, keeps the power going. Morning is a bit messy with cross-shore wind, but the afternoon is a beauty. The swell holds at 3ft from the SW (16 seconds) with a combined energy of 389, and the wind swings to an ENE cross-off with only a slight air. That’s going to be clean and punchy. Tuesday, July 21st morning is also a standout: glassy conditions with the same 3ft SW swell (15 seconds) and energy at 329. That’s a very rare, flat-calm window for a punchy reef wave.
Looking further ahead to Thursday, July 23rd morning, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW (13 seconds) with a huge combined energy of 548 (strong). The wind is offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean. That’s borderline strong for the reef, but for the advanced crew, it’s going to be a proper session. Friday, July 24th, sees a drop back to 4ft from the SW, but the period is short at 10 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weaker in shape. Saturday, July 25th morning, has a 3ft WSW swell (11 seconds) with clean cross-off winds, but it’s a bit of a gamble with risk of thunderstorms.
Overall, the standout is the Sunday, July 19th morning session, with Tuesday, July 21st morning as a close second for its glassy perfection. The later week (July 23rd-25th) looks promising but is further out, so take it with a pinch of salt. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.
Stay sharp, 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.
