The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and here’s the deal for the next couple of weeks.
Saturday the 18th is a total dud – tiny 2ft to 2ft SW swell with nothing going on. You’ll be waiting until Sunday the 19th morning for the first real shot. That morning it’s a tiny 2ft SW swell, but the wind is glassy, which is a huge plus. The water is a very warm 89° – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s comfortable.
The big standout starts Monday the 20th morning. Clean conditions with a 3ft SW groundswell, a 16-second period, and light offshore wind from the NE. The combined energy reads 405 (moderate). This is a perfect match for the optimum WNW swell direction at Burros (reef). The crowd is only *sometimes* a problem. That morning is your best session.
Tuesday the 21st morning is also clean with a 3ft SW swell and 15-second period. Good. But the afternoon gets choppy.
Friday the 24th morning is another highlight. The swell is only 2ft, but the period is a very long 24 seconds, with offshore wind. The energy reading is 391 (moderate). A nice little groundswell at the reef.
The absolute best is Tuesday the 28th morning. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW, with a 17-second period, clean offshore wind from the ENE, and a combined energy of 752 (strong). The forecast says “very good surf conditions.” That’s the morning to plan for.
After that, the surf stays fun but smaller, with clean, surfable waves into the start of August. Nothing beats that Tuesday the 28th.
The long-period swells (15-24 seconds) at this reef break will give you great shape and energy, but the sets will be spaced out, making the paddle out easier. The offshore and glassy mornings are your best bets.
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.
