The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Bakio for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ll be honest – the first few days are a total bust. From Monday, August 3rd, through the whole first week, there’s nothing to surf. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wave energy is weak (24 to 83). You might get a glassy morning, but with no waves, you’re just sitting on your board. It’s a rough start.
Things start to pick up a little around Thursday, August 6th. The swell comes in at 3ft to 4ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the energy climbs into the moderate zone (154 to 216). Problem is, the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy, and it’s still rated as poor surf. It’s better than the nothing we had, but it’s not a standout.
The best window we’ve got is Sunday, August 9th, and Monday, August 10th. On Sunday morning, we’ve got 2ft swell from the NW (9 seconds) with glassy wind from the NNW – that’s clean, smooth water. The energy is moderate (124). Sunday afternoon, the swell builds to 4ft from the NNW, still 9 seconds, with energy hitting 213. The wind is onshore but light, so it’s not blown out. Then Monday morning, August 10th, we get a clean 3ft from the NW (8 seconds) with light cross-shore wind from the east, and energy at 124. It’s not a huge swell, but you’ll find some fun, rideable waves with a clean surface. That’s your best bet.
After that, it fades again. The second week has small pulses, but nothing consistent. Tuesday, August 11th, has a glassy 2ft swell, but the energy is weak (41), and it’s a one-off. By the 17th and 18th of August, the wind gets strong (15 to 25 mph) with a 3ft to 4ft NW swell, but the energy (256) is wasted by messy, cross-onshore winds. That’s more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. If you want the best waves, target Sunday, August 9th, and Monday, August 10th. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
