Table - best surf conditions forecast for Menakoz over the next 16 days.
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let's look at what we've got on the table for Menakoz. It’s a bit of a flat spell on the way, so don’t get your hopes up for any fireworks. We’re looking at a solid run of small, weak swells and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds that'll keep things pretty ordinary. Buckle up for a long wait.
The water is sitting at a warm 74°, which is over 5° above the norm for this time of year. That's way unusual, so you can leave the steamer at home for this one.
We kick off on Tuesday the 7th of July with a tiny 2 ft NW swell (38 energy) and a 9 mph cross-onshore, making for choppy conditions. It's pretty much a no-go from there. Wednesday the 8th stays flat with a 1.0 ft NW swell (36 energy) and glassy calm winds on the afternoon, but the wave height just isn't there.
We’re looking at a long gap here. Through Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and right into the second week, the swell stays below 3 ft. The combined swell energy remains weak, mostly below 100 (88 on the 10th afternoon is the highest in this stretch). Winds are variable but never truly offshore, with a lot of light cross-onshore or onshore breezes. You’ll get glassy conditions on the mornings of July 17th, 18th, 19th, and 21st, but the swell is just too small to ride. On Saturday the 12th we have a clean, cross-offshore wind in the morning but again, only 2 ft on offer.
The only faint glimmer is on Friday the 17th of July. The morning shows a 3 ft WNW swell (69 energy) with glassy conditions. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
Honestly, over these 16 days, there’s no standout. The swell never cracks 3 ft, and the wind is rarely on our side. For an expert reef break that needs a decent push, this is a complete dud. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe the 17th morning is your best bet, but don’t expect much.
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.
