The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bakio over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing. The first few days are a write-off with weak, messy waves and wind that just won’t play ball. We’ve got a gap of poor conditions from the 22nd right through to the 26th of July. The water temperature is a notable 76°, which is a solid 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, but it’s cold comfort when the surf is flat and choppy.
The swell starts to build a bit from the 25th, but it’s all wind-affected. We see a lumpy 6ft on the Saturday morning, jumping to a messy 8ft by the afternoon, with a fresh cross-shore making it a complete washout. The combined energy is strong though, hitting 472 on the Saturday afternoon, but without any decent wind to clean it up, it’s just a mess. Honestly, for the first week, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The real standouts, the only ones worth talking about, are a couple of mornings in the first week of August. The best on offer looks like Tuesday the 4th of August morning. The wind swings offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, and the guidance says it’s a clean, cross-off breeze. You’ll find a clean 3ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 217.
Then, the next morning, Wednesday the 5th of August, is also a cracker. We’ve got glassy conditions with the wind from the ENE at just 3 mph, and a clean 4ft NW swell rolling in with a 10-second period. The energy is stronger here, at 284. This is the pick of the bunch for the whole outlook – a clean, glassy morning with some proper groundswell energy. The longer period will mean better shaped waves, but it also means longer waits between sets.
Aside from those two mornings, the rest of the window is a write-off. The swell is small, the wind is onshore, and the conditions are just poor. Keep your eye on those two early August mornings, though. The long-range call is promising, but it’s not set in stone.

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.
