The Lowdown
Hey guys, Rusty here. Let’s talk Bakio. The next couple of weeks look pretty grim to start.
We’ve got a huge gap with nothing to ride. From now all the way through to the morning of Friday, August 7th, it’s dead flat. The water is a warm 74°, feeling a fair bit toastier than normal for this time of year, so it’s nice for a swim, but there’s zero surf.
The first sign of life shows up on the morning of Friday, August 7th. A small swell from the WNW at 4ft with an 8-second period rolls in, bringing moderate energy (241). The wind will be light and cross-shore from the East, so it’ll look clean. But don't get your hopes up – this is a one-morning window, and the afternoon wind is set to blow hard from the NE and trash it.
Saturday the 8th has a glassy morning with a smaller 3ft WNW swell. The energy is lower (117), but with a light, offshore breeze from the ENE, the surface will be clean as a whistle. The waves will be small and nothing special though.
The real standout of this entire outlook is Monday morning, August 10th. That’s where it’s at. We’ve got a 3ft groundswell from the NNW with a nice, long 11-second period. The energy is strong at 239, and the wind will be glassy from the NW. This is showing “expect good surf conditions.” For a spot that’s consistent and open to the NW, having that long-period groundswell on the optimum angle with a glassy surface is a proper golden window. The water will still be unusually warm. Just remember, with that long period, the waves might race a bit straight at the beach, but with no wind, it’ll be the only session worth having. After that, it’s back to small, choppy junk.
So, in a nutshell: over a week of total flatness, one brief chance on the 7th, and the clear winner – a glassy, clean Monday morning on the 10th.
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.
