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


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Menakoz over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – it's a tough one. This is a proper reef break, expert territory, and it's usually fairly consistent, but the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak. There's no real standout session in the whole window, just a lot of "poor surf conditions" and very ordinary waves. If you're keen to paddle out, you'll be scratching around for scraps.

The water is sitting at 73° – that's 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is pretty wild. Might feel like a bathtub, but it won't fix the lack of energy.

The first bit of surf we see is on Friday the 10th morning – some clouds, glassy conditions, a tiny 2ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and combined energy of just 71. It's surfable but very ordinary. The wind is light glassy, so that's a positive, but the wave size is barely ankle-knocker. After that, it's all downhill. Saturday the 11th has a bit of cross-off wind but swell drops to 1ft – not worth it. Sunday the 12th is clean in the morning but again tiny.

From Monday the 13th right through to Thursday the 17th, we've got a long stretch of poor conditions – onshore winds, tiny swell, and periods below 8 seconds. Not worth paddling out. You'll be sitting on your board watching ripples.

Around Saturday the 18th, the swell bumps up a bit – 5ft from the NW, but it's short period (6 seconds) and cross-onshore. Combined energy hits 167 – moderate energy – but it's messy and choppy. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. Then it drops again.

Sunday the 19th afternoon has a 4ft NNW swell with 8 seconds, but it's onshore and the quality is poor. Not a day to get excited about.

The only other glimmer is Wednesday the 22nd afternoon – a 3ft NW swell with 11 second period, combined energy of 170, but onshore wind. That's a long-period groundswell but with poor wind. Could be a bit of a wait for a clean set, but the reef might hold some shape. Still, I wouldn't call it a standout.

Thursday the 23rd morning has glassy conditions and 3ft NW swell at 9 seconds – that's actually the best looking window: glassy, clean, decent period. Combined energy 166. But the afternoon goes cross-onshore again. So if you can get out early on the 23rd, it might be worth a look – but it's still small.

After that, the last few days are small and messy again. Saturday the 25th shows a 4ft NW swell with period 9 seconds, but combined energy jumps to 257 and 314, so moderate energy – but it's cross-onshore and choppy. Too rough for clean surf.

Honestly, the whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for good waves. The break is consistent on paper, but this time the windows are all wrong – tiny swell, poor wind, or both. Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change – but for now, take a break.

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.
