The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s be real – this 16-day window at Bakio is a pretty grim picture. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is over 6°F warmer than it should be, so you’ll be swimming in a bathtub, but the surf is just not cooperating.
For the first week, from Friday the 24th all the way through the end of July, it’s a struggle. There’s some swell pushing through, but the wind is a constant, dirty cross-onshore, and the wave energy is weak to moderate (27 to 77). The combined energy does jump to 408 on Monday the 27th, but the wind is still messy, making it a total washout. The swell is from the NW, but the wind is ruining it every time, turning the surface into a lumpy mess. For a beginner spot, this is just blown out.
The only tiny glimmer of hope is on Wednesday morning the 29th. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a small 0.9m NW swell. It’s clean, but small. The energy is weak (135), and the period is a short 9 seconds, so it’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window. It’s the only session all week that's not a total loss.
Then we hit another gap. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are back to tiny, weak surf with onshore winds.
Now, here’s the one to watch. Saturday morning, the 1st of August. This is the standout. There’s a promising 0.9m swell from the NW, but the period is a long 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SE, which will keep the waves clean. The energy is moderate (417). It’s a long-range call, so don’t bet the house on it, but if it comes together, it’ll be the best we’ve seen. That long period will give the waves better shape, but at a beach break like Bakio, it might be a bit dumpy, so keep an eye on the rip.
The rest of the forecast is a blur. From Sunday the 2nd onwards, it’s back to the same story: weak swells, onshore winds, and poor surf. There’s a little moment on Friday morning the 7th of August with a glassy 0.7m wave, but it’s tiny. Best advice this month is to keep checking the forecast, because it can’t stay this flat forever.
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.
