Burros Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Burros over the next couple of weeks. It's gonna be a bit of a slow burn, but there are some windows.

We’re looking at a stretch of small, clean mornings and choppy afternoons, with a real standout session popping up on the last day of the forecast. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The first real go-to is Sunday morning, September 6th at Burros (Punta-Burros). We've got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the SSW with a solid 14-second period, giving us moderate wave energy (514). The wind is a light easterly cross-off, so the surface is going to be glassy and lined up. This is a reef break that needs the right direction, and this SSW swell is a good match. It's an advanced wave, so you'll need your wits about you, but it's the best of the first week for sure. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes, so get in early.

Monday morning (September 7th) is a similar story – 2ft, clean, light cross-off wind, and good energy (396) – but it’s a touch smaller. The afternoons are a write-off, with that westerly cross-on wind chopping things up.

Tuesday (September 8th) through to Saturday (September 12th) are more of the same pattern: tiny 2ft to 2ft morning waves with light winds. The energy drops off a bit (from 249 down to 132). Surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoons are all blown out.

Sunday morning, September 13th, the swell drops even further to 2ft, but the energy is low (132). The following week sees the size stay small, but there’s a noticeable bump in period.

The real standout for the whole forecast period is actually Monday morning, September 21st. It's a long way off, so don't hold me to it, but the charts are looking tasty. We’ve got a 2ft SSW swell, but with a very long 17-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is back up to a solid 311, suggesting some proper push for the size. With that long period, a reef like Burros is going to hold it well. The wind is forecast to be glassy – absolutely dead calm. That is a rare treat and will make for some of the cleanest, most lined-up waves you'll see in this stretch.

For the days in between, like Thursday the 17th and Saturday the 19th, the mornings stay clean but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft). The long-period energy (18-20 seconds) on the 18th and 19th might make for some weird, straight-breaking lines on a beach, but at a reef like this, it could offer up some long, walled-up runners. Don't expect much though.

Overall, the first week is a collection of small, clean morning sessions. The Sunday morning (Sept 6th) is your pick of that bunch. If you can wait, the Monday morning (Sept 21st) with glassy conditions and that long-period groundswell is the one to circle on the calendar.
