Listen, mate, Rusty here. I’ll give it to you straight: the surf outlook for this region over the next two weeks is pretty barren. We’ve got a few tiny clean moments, but overall you’re lookin’ at a tough stretch.
The story begins on Tuesday, 7 July, and there’s almost nothing goin’. Swell at a piddling 1 feet from the NW with short period – waves are small and messy, and the wind is cross to cross-on. The combined energy numbers are all down in the weak range (like 31, 30, 33), so it’s just flat, limp ocean. This gap with no real waves goes for several days straight.
Wednesday 8 July and Thursday 9 July bring more of the same – waves barely reaching 2 feet from the NW, wind often wrong. You’re not missing anything. The first time it gets rideable is Friday morning, 10 July. That’s your best shot: a 2 foot NW swell with glassy conditions – smooth as a mirror, no chop, super clean. Combined energy is 70 (still weak), but it’s the highlight of the fortnight. Saturday morning, 11 July backs it up – same 2 foot NW swell, offshore wind from the south keeping the face clean. Energy bumps to 106 (still weak to moderate) but the window is small.
Every other day is a write-off. Swell drops to a sad 0.7 feet or less, and winds become onshore or chop everything up. From the second week, it gets worse: waves at 1 to 3 feet but with no period, everything chopped, and hardly any energy (energy numbers 10 to 72). Bakio is the only break here, and it’s exposed, consistent, but mostly just crook conditions. The water temp is about average for the season – nothing wild.
So, if you’re keen, you want to be at Bakio on the morning of Friday, 10 July or Saturday, 11 July. Those are the only two sessions with clean conditions and a tiny wave. The rest of the time, you’re better off savin’ your energy. Fair dinkum, it’s a lean period.
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.
