The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bakio over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, we’re looking at a pretty flat run for the next two weeks. The forecast shows a whole lot of days with marginal to poor surf conditions, so it’s going to be a quiet stretch. There’s a significant gap from now until the 12th of August, with no real surf to speak of. The first sign of life doesn’t appear until the morning of the 12th, so we’re talking about a solid two-week wait.
The only thing that stands out in this entire 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday, the 12th of August. That’s where we finally get a glimpse of something rideable. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° above the long-term average, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
Swell-wise, we’re looking at a 5ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a moderate wave energy (406) and it’s actually a groundswell, so it’ll have a bit more shape and power than the windswill we’ve been seeing. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WSW, which will keep the surface clean. This is a good-sized wave for the area, but at 5ft, it’s not massive enough to be just for experts – though beginners might find it a little too much.
The only break on offer is Bakio itself. It’s an exposed beach break, so it can handle swell from the NW and NNW. It’s consistent, but it can get crowded. With the only decent swell in two weeks, expect plenty of company. The swell direction is right on the money for this spot.
Bottom line: It’s a long, dry spell, but if you’ve got the patience, the morning of the 12th of August could be a real treat. Clean, waist-to-chest high waves on offer. Don’t hold your breath for anything before that.
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.
