Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch for Menakoz. The whole 16-day window is a flat, quiet run with nothing really standing up the way we'd want. We're looking at a long gap from the start with no real recommendations, and the swell that does pop up is small and pretty weak. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come around until Saturday the 12th of July, and even then, it's not looking great.
The best of a very quiet bunch looks like the morning of Monday the 14th of July. The wind will be coming from the east, giving us a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean. The swell is a tiny 3 feet from the NNW, which is the right direction, but it's short-period windswell at 7 seconds, so it won't have much punch. Wave energy is weak (134). It's surfable, but it's very ordinary.
Before that, there's a small window on the morning of Saturday the 5th. The swell is only 3 feet from the NW, with a 10-second period, giving us moderate energy (185). The wind is glassy from the NE – that's a major positive, it'll be clean. But it's still a pretty small day for an expert reef break that's often crowded.
Later in the week, the morning of Wednesday the 15th of July is glassy again, but the swell has dropped to 2 feet from the NW. It's a clean, tiny session for the die-hards. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Overall, the energy is just too low and the swell direction isn't ideal for this spot. It's a blank run for a place that can be fickle, and the forecasts need to change to get us anything decent. Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.
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.
