The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Bakio for the next couple of weeks. It’s mostly quiet, but there’s one window that’s got me dialed in.
We kick off Sunday the 30th with a bit of hope. Sunday morning brings glassy conditions, 5ft swell from the NW at 10 seconds, and the water is a touch warmer than usual at 73°, about 4° above average. Not big, but clean. By afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and it gets choppy—no go. Monday and Tuesday stay meh, with mixed winds and the swell fading. Wednesday through Thursday of the first week is flat or near-flat, wave energy dropping to weak levels (85 down to 48). Not worth a second look.
Friday the 4th sees the swell build, but the wind is wrong—on or cross-on, keeping things messy. The period gets long, 13-15 seconds, but without clean wind, it’s a tease for Bakio.
Then, the standout: Saturday the 5th of September, morning. This is the one. Swell hits 7ft from the NNW, with a very long period of 14 seconds—that’s real groundswell. The energy is strong (1621), and the wind is glassy, dead calm. For an exposed beach like Bakio, that long period can make the waves a bit fat, but with glass and 7ft, it’ll be pumping for experienced surfers. Too big for beginners. The afternoon falls apart as the wind shifts cross-on.
After that, from Sunday the 6th on, the surf drops off. Swell under 3ft, energy weakens (448 down to 36), and wind stays cross or cross-on. There’s a clean moment on Tuesday the 8th morning with light cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny (2ft). Not worth your time.
For this 16-day window, you’ve got one golden call: dawn patrol on Saturday the 5th of September. The rest is a long stretch of flat or poor conditions. That’s normal for Bakio, so don’t sweat it—forecasts can change.
Stay stoked.
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.
