The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Menakoz. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a frustrating run ahead. We’ve got some pulses of energy, but the wind is almost always working against us, so the good windows are few and far between. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until the 8th, so there’s a gap of a few days of nothing worthwhile before that.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a tease on Saturday afternoon, the 5th. A 4ft swell from the NNW, with a solid 13-second period and moderate energy (712), but a cross-on NE breeze at 9 mph messes it up. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But honestly, it’s marginal at best with that wind.

We have to wait until Tuesday morning, the 8th, for the first real standout. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, and we’ve got a 3ft NW swell with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate (169). It’s not big, but when it’s this clean, those long-period lines will have some shape. It’s a reef break, so the long period works in its favour, but it’s an expert-only spot, and it *often* gets crowded. That’s a break you’ll have to fight for. The best of the first week is probably that Tuesday morning.

The forecast gets a bit ugly mid-week. Wednesday the 9th sees a jump in size to 7ft from the NW, but it’s short-period (8 seconds) and a strong onshore wind at 19 mph. The energy is strong (644), but with that wind and short period, it’s a washing machine. That’s more for kites than paddles.

The next real nod goes to Monday morning, the 14th. Another glassy session, with a 4ft NW swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy (279). That’s a solid, clean morning for those who can handle the reef.

Then, for the second week, the real standout to circle is Wednesday morning, the 16th. It’s glassy, calm winds, with a 5ft NW swell and a juicy 12-second period. The energy is strong (531). That’s the best-looking swell of the whole period with the best possible wind. It’s still an expert break, and it’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in just yet, but keep an eye on it.

After that, the energy slowly fades, and the conditions stay marginal. The 18th and 19th offer some glassy mornings, but the swell is down to 3ft and 2ft, with weak energy. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.

The best on offer is that glassy 5ft on the 16th, with the 3ft glassy morning on the 8th as a close second.

Rusty.

Information about the Menakoz Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Menakoz provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Menakoz can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Menakoz 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 (Menakoz) 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 Menakoz 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.

Menakoz is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Getxo. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Getxo. Getxo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
