For the past two days I’ve been surfing at Burros. The waves have been unexpectedly nice, more so on Monday and less so yesterday, but nice enough to enjoy. Monday saw Burros receiving 3 to 4 foot waves with sets of 5 to 6 feet every 15 minutes or so. and the wind, which is usually killer here for most of the spring, had died down. Not so much the quality of the waves, but the quality and quantity of good rides, made it possibly my best day out in 6 months. I easily cleared 15 rides and out of that 15, maybe 5 near-perfect rides. Burros has been very inconsistent lately, not necessarily in relationship to having or not having swell, more that when there are waves, they are a little all over the place, breaking in unexpected ways, sneaking up on you like a silent mountain (or in this case, mole hill). But when the wave breaks in an arc it leads to an excellent ride, I’ve drawn the diagram below to visualize that perfect arc wave:
