The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown for Bakio over the next couple of weeks.
The pattern is a slow starter, then a solid pulse of NW swell shows up around Friday the 28th and sticks around for a few days before fading into next week. The water is a warm 75°, which is way toastier than normal for this time of year – a real bonus.
Wednesday morning the 26th is a total dud with a tiny 1ft NW swell and weak energy. Skip it. The afternoon stays small and messy with a cross-on breeze.
Thursday the 27th morning gets a slight bump to 3ft NW, but the energy is still weak (64). The wind goes flat calm and glassy, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. Good for a log if you’re desperate. The afternoon gets chopped by a cross-shore breeze.
Friday the 28th morning is when it kicks off. The swell hits 5ft from the NW with moderate energy (255) and a light cross-offshore wind. Clean, solid waves for the intermediate crew. The afternoon blows out with a cross-on breeze.
Saturday the 29th morning is a true standout. A clean 5ft NW swell with moderate wave energy (370) and dead glassy conditions. That’s chest to head high and flawless. Best session of the entire run. The afternoon goes cross-on and choppy.
Sunday the 30th morning is another beauty. The swell drops a bit to 4ft NW, but the energy is still decent (275) and it’s glassy again. More clean, fun waves. The afternoon gets complicated with a cross-on breeze and a very long 11-second period, which can make things a bit tricky at a beach break.
Monday the 31st morning pushes the swell to 6ft NW, but the wind is onshore and the tide might mess it up. A marginal call. Tuesday the 1st of September morning cleans right back up with glassy conditions and a 4ft NW swell (257 energy), good for another solid session.
After that, the swell fades. From Wednesday the 2nd into the second week, the waves get smaller and weaker. There are a few glassy mornings, like the 4th and the 9th, but the swell drops under 3ft and the energy is weak. It gets inconsistent. The only real glimmer in the second week is Tuesday the 8th of September morning, with a clean 4ft NW swell and solid energy (350) under glassy conditions. That one’s a long way out but worth watching.
Bottom line: the first week is your time. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings are the absolute peak. The second week is mostly small and quiet, with one hopeful window on the 8th.
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.
