The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Bakio has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Got to be honest, it's a pretty grim outlook for a while. There's a long, frustrating stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions from now until the middle of next week. The swell just isn't showing up, and the wind is mostly trash.
Thursday the 6th starts us off with a tiny 3ft NW swell with a period of 8 seconds. With a cross-shore breeze, it's just poor, choppy surf with combined energy at a weak 99. The following days are even smaller – we're looking at 1ft and 2ft swells with periods dropping to 5 seconds on Saturday the 8th. There are a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, but the swell is so weak (energy of 41 and 15) it's barely a ripple. That flat, sad pattern holds all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, where we see a slight bump to 4ft from the WNW, but with a short 6-second period and a nasty 25 km/h cross-shore wind. The wave energy is moderate at 102, but the quality is shot. Honestly, that afternoon on the 15th looks more fun for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
After over a week of nothing burgers, we finally get a reason to wake up early. On Monday morning, August the 17th, the stars almost align. We see a jump to a 5ft swell from the WNW with a 7-second period. The winds will be glassy and calm, making for a beautiful morning. The combined energy hits 263, which is moderate. It's not a perfect, groundswell bomb, but after so much flatness, a clean 5ft glassy wave at Bakio is the standout of the entire 16-day window. It's beginner-friendly in size, but it's the best we've got. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions," and that's as good as it gets. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and ruins it, so the early session on the 17th is your only real shot. Tuesday the 18th brings a bigger 8ft WNW swell (energy up to 787), but with rain and cross-onshore wind, it's just a choppy, lumpy wall for the experts only.
So to put it plain: the first 11 days are a total loss. The only true standout, the one to wait for, is the glassy dawn patrol at Bakio on Monday the 17th. It won't be perfect, but it'll be clean and rideable, and that's a win after a long wait.
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.
