The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for Bakio in the next two weeks.
To be honest, it’s a tough start. There’s a big gap of about 10 days where the surf is flat, weak, or just plain messy. The water temp is about 75°, which is nearly 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s real unusual, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, but the waves aren’t cooperating.
The first real chance for a decent session doesn’t come until Monday, July 28th. The standout is Tuesday morning the 28th. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy from the WNW at just 3 mph. It’s gonna be flat calm. The combined energy is solid at 629 (moderate), so there’s enough juice to get some fun rides. It’s a long wait, but that morning is your best shot at Bakio.
The few days before that, on the 25th and 26th, there’s more size – up to 4ft on the 26th – but the wind is cross-on and choppy, ruining the quality. The 26th of July morning has a 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period and light cross-shore wind, but it’s only marginal. The wave energy is strong (443), but the conditions are too messy to get excited about.
For beginners, the 5ft on the 28th is a bit much. If you’re new, you’d want smaller days, but there’s nothing good to recommend until that Tuesday morning.
So, bottom line: the first 10 days are a dud. The only real standout is Tuesday morning, July 28th. Keep an eye on that one.
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.
