Conditions at Punta Burros in January
January: The Clean Machine
January is the apex of Punta Burros' winter surf season. With an average swell height of 1.0m (3ft) and a powerful 13.6-second period, the ocean carries substantial long-period energy from the North Pacific. The swell compass reveals that a massive 88% of the wave energy comes from the W and WNW sectors, with a further 6% from the WSW. While these directions are slightly cross-shore for the south-facing beach, the bathymetry around Punta Burros works magic, wrapping and refracting the WNW groundswell so it breaks cleanly down the point. The wind is the real star: a staggering 90% of the time the wind blows from offshore quadrants, led by NNW (38.6%), NNE (19.4%) and N (17.0%). This glassy offshore flow grooms the waves to perfection, producing long, rippable walls. At 25.5°C water temperature and with only 0.99 mm/day of rain, winter mornings are warm and crystal clear. If you want flawless 3ft (1m) point surf, this is your month.
