The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up.
Honestly, the outlook for Bakio over the next 16 days is a tough one for surfers. The swell is small and weak, and the conditions are messy for the most part. There’s a big gap of poor surf ahead, with no real standouts to get excited about.
The first hint of anything surfable is on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. The wind is glassy, offshore from the NNE, and the swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW at 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is low (69), so it’s not powerful, but with glassy conditions, it’s about as clean as it gets around here. This is the best on offer, but it’s still very small – more of a longboard or beginner session. Even then, it’s just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.”
The next morning, Sunday, August 2nd, is also glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft from the N with a short 6-second period, and the energy is very weak (42). It’s not going to be much fun.
From there, the forecast slides into a long stretch of very poor conditions. From Monday the 3rd through to the morning of Friday the 7th, the swell barely holds, the wind is often cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy is mostly in the teens or low 30s. It’s all marked as “poor surf conditions.” Kite surfers might have a bit more to work with on some of those breezier afternoons, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
The afternoon of Friday, August 7th, brings a spike in energy to 159 (moderate), with a 4ft swell from the NW at 8 seconds. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, but the wind is onshore from the NNW, so it’ll be a lumpy mess. Not one to get stoked about.
The rest of the second week is a continuation of the same story: tiny swell, weak energy, and mostly cross-onshore winds. The morning of Sunday, August 9th, has glassy conditions and a 2ft swell from the NNE, but again, it’s just “surfable” at best.
There’s no standout day here. The best you’ll get is the morning of August 1st, but even that is a far cry from good surf. If you’re desperate, you might get a few small, clean waves then, but otherwise, it’s a long wait for nothing.
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.
