The Lowdown

Right, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, straight up, the first few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 27th of August through Friday the 28th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell at Menakoz. The energy is pathetic, down in the 30s to 60s, and the wind is all over the shop. You’re not missing anything. Give it a miss.

Then, Saturday the 29th of August morning, things start to wake up. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a beautiful thing. The combined energy is moderate (349), and the water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is the first real window of the forecast.

But the real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Sunday the 30th of August morning. That’s where it’s at. We’ve got a 6ft NW swell with a period of 11 seconds, and again, glassy conditions. The energy is strong (663). Menakoz is a reef break, so that longer period groundswell is going to line up nicely. This is the best session on offer. Get on it early because the wind turns onshore by the afternoon.

Monday the 31st of August morning has a similar 5ft swell, but it’s a bit crossed up and only marginal. The afternoon gets blown out.

The first week of September is a bit of a mixed bag. You’ll get some clean, surfable waves in the mornings, but nothing that’ll set the world on fire. The swell hangs around the 3ft to 4ft mark, with the occasional window of clean conditions. The energy stays moderate.

Then, there’s a gap. After the 6th of September, the swell drops right off and the wind gets messy. You’re looking at a few days of grovelly, poor conditions until around the 10th of September.

Now, casting your eyes to the second week, there’s a promising blip on Thursday the 10th of September morning. We get a 5ft NW swell coming back, with light cross-shore wind. The energy is moderate (314). Then, Friday the 11th of September morning sees the swell jump to 8ft from the NW, but the period is short (8 seconds) and it’s a bit cross-on. That’s big, powerful stuff (734 energy), but it’s messy. For experts only, and even then, it’s a gamble. The crowd profile at Menakoz is “often”, so expect company for the standouts.

Rusty out.

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.
