The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. Honestly, this is a tough one for us. We're looking at a 16-day stretch that's a frustrating run of small, weak, and mostly messy waves. The water temperature is sitting at about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
The first sign of any real swell doesn't show up until the 9th of August, a Sunday. That's a solid week and a half of near-flat, choppy conditions to wade through. From the 1st through the 8th, it's all tiny waves under 3 ft with poor surf quality and cross-onshore winds - not worth paddling out for.
The 9th brings a bit of a pulse. Sunday afternoon sees a 4 ft NW swell, but it's a cross-onshore wind situation that'll keep it bumpy and messy. The combined energy is moderate (324), but the wind is the killer here.
The real standout, and truly the only one worth circling on your calendar, is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. That's our best shot. We’ve got a 4 ft NW swell pushing in, and the big news is the wind is *dead calm* – glassy conditions. The wave energy is moderate (156), and the light offshore flow from the NNW will be cleaning it up perfectly. This is a great window for a beginner-to-intermediate session at Bakio, as the size is manageable and the conditions will be smooth. Just keep in mind that crowds are often an issue here, so get there early.
After that Monday morning window, it fades back into small, messy surf for the rest of the outlook. The swell direction holds from the NW, but the period is short and the winds turn back onshore, making it pretty ordinary.
So, for the whole 16 days: the one clear call is the glassy morning of the 10th. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
