G’day, it’s Rusty.
I’ve been sifting through the coming days for Menakoz, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s looking bleak. The whole 16-day stretch is a struggle – there isn’t a single session I’d paddle out for. This is one of those long, quiet spells that tests your patience.
Starting on Monday, July 6th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period and a combined energy of just 53 – that’s weak. The water’s a very unusual 74°F, which is 7°F warmer than normal. The wind’s light from the east in the morning, giving clean conditions, but the waves are too small to matter. It’s poor. Tuesday drops to 1ft with onshore NW wind. Wednesday is worse at 1ft. Thursday morning picks up to 2ft, but the wind is onshore from the NNW, and the energy is still weak (63). Friday the 10th is glassy in the morning with a 2ft NW swell, but again, no power. Friday afternoon is the highlight of the whole run: the report calls it “surfable but very ordinary” – and that’s as good as it gets. Saturday the 11th stays clean with a light east cross-off breeze and a 2ft WNW swell, but it’s nothing to write home about. The second week is more of the same. Swell heights hover between 0.7ft and 2ft, with mostly onshore winds or glassy but powerless conditions. The only time the combined energy creeps above 100 is on the 21st, when a 4ft NNW swell arrives with a strong 25 mph cross-onshore breeze and a 6-second period – it’s just choppy, messy wind-swell with 110 energy, not worth the drive.
Menakoz is a reef break that needs a decent NW groundswell and a clean offshore wind from the NNW to work. We’re getting neither. The crowds can be a factor when it’s pumping, but right now, you’ll have the ocean to yourself. This is a proper blank run for the area. It can happen, and it won’t last forever, but for now, I’d hang the board up and wait for the next storm track.
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.
