Table - best surf conditions forecast for Menakoz over the next 16 days.


Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the coming weeks.

The forecast is a bit of a slow burn, to be honest. We're looking at mostly small, weak waves for the next week or so, with a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind messing things up. There's a little window of clean conditions early on, but the swell is tiny. Things start to get a bit more interesting in the second week, with a noticeable bump in energy, but the wind is still a problem.

The first real chance of a surf comes Friday morning, 10 July. We're looking at Menakoz, a reef setup that's best for the experts given the exposed nature. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW, but the wind is glassy, coming from the NNW. That's a major positive – it'll be as clean as a whistle. The water is a very unusual 74°, which is 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy of the swell is a weak 82. It's not going to be big, but for a Friday morning, it could be a nice little session if you're just after a paddle.

The rest of the weekend and into the next week stays pretty poor. The swell stays small, under 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making for messy conditions. There's a glassy morning on Sunday, 12 July, but again the swell is only 2ft. It's a bit of a waiting game.

Now, we get a bit of a pulse on Saturday, 18 July. The morning shows a 4ft NW swell with glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 157. This is the best looking window in the whole run. The wind is light and from the NW, making it glassy. The swell is an NW, which is a touch off the optimum NNW direction for Menakoz, but it's close enough. It's still a small wave, but clean and surfable for the more experienced.

After that, things get messy again through the end of the third week. The swell stays in the 3ft to 6ft range, but it's constantly cross-on or onshore, with the wind picking up. The combined energy does get up to a strong 236 on the morning of Friday, 24 July, with a 6ft WNW swell, but the wind is cross-on from the WNW. That's a no-go for clean waves.

The very last day in the run, Saturday, 25 July, has a clean-ish morning with a 4ft NW swell and a cross-shore breeze from the NE. The period is a decent 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 260. It's a bit of a chop, and the crowd factor at Menakoz is listed as "often", so it might be busy. It's a decent option for the experts, but not a standout.

The best on offer is the Saturday morning, 18 July. It's small but clean. The other potential is the Friday morning, 10 July, but both are very small. For the rest of the time, the conditions are poor with onshore winds, so it's not really worth getting excited about.

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.
