The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Bakio’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a real bust. Sunday through to Wednesday next week is just flat or junk. We’re talkin’ tiny dribble, onshore winds, and a whole lot of nothin’. You’re better off stayin’ home and waxin’ your boards for a week. There’s a gap of about 4 days with no worthwhile surf.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, 27th August. The morning shows a clean 4ft swell from the WNW with a 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (193). The wind is cross-offshore from the SW, so it’ll be clean. But the waves are still a bit junky and it’s a “poor” call overall, so manage expectations.
Now, the standout – and I mean the *real* standout – is Friday morning, 28th August. This is the one. Bakio is gonna wake up to a solid 7ft groundswell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1009). That’s a lot of power. The wind is light and offshore from the SW, so it’ll be clean and lined up. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers; the swell is over 8ft for the afternoon, but that morning window is the money time. For the beginners, this is too big.
Saturday, 29th August, the swell drops to 6ft from the NW, but the wind goes cross-shore in the morning, making it a bit bumpy. The afternoon gets more cross-onshore. It’s a marginal call at best.
After that, it’s a real mixed bag of smaller, weaker swells and onshore slop. The second week of the forecast has a few mornings with glassy conditions and tiny 2-3ft waves, like on Wednesday, 2nd September, and Friday, 4th September. The water temp is a warm 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
To be honest, if you’re not charging that Friday morning, you’re gonna be waiting a long time for the next decent wave. The other days are mostly small, weak, and choppy. It’s a one-hit wonder this fortnight.
Rusty.

Information about the Bakio Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bakio provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bakio can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bakio 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 (Bakio) 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 Bakio 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.
Bakio is 7 km (4 miles) from Bermeo. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bermeo. Bermeo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
