The Lowdown
Alright, let me look at what’s coming up for Bakio. It’s a slow start, amigos. For the first week and a half, the surf is tiny and chopped up, so leave the stick at home. Water temp is about normal for the season.
The first little window comes Tuesday morning, August 11th. Early, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a small 2ft swell from the NW with a 8-second period. The combined wave energy is weak (64). It’s surfable but very ordinary – you’ll snag a few clean little ones if you’re itching for a paddle.
Things stay pretty poor through that week and into the next. We get a bit more size around Saturday, August 15th, with a 4ft NW swell in the afternoon, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. The combined energy hits moderate (121), but it’s still just poor surf. Not worth it.
We finally get a decent window on Friday, August 21st. That morning, the wind goes glassy again, and there’s a 2ft NW swell with a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (118). The conditions are clean, and it’s the best looking morning for a small, beginner-friendly session. No crowds to worry about at Bakio.
Then on Sunday, August 23rd, the morning looks good with a 4ft NW swell and a cleaner cross-offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate (156). The waves will have a bit more punch, and the wind will keep them tidy. For a beginner spot like Bakio, that’s a nice size.
So, the standout is Friday morning, August 21st, with glassy conditions and waist-high waves. Sunday morning, August 23rd, is a close second for a little more size and clean wind. The rest is a no-go.

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.
