The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a proper look at what's on offer for the local stretch here. We've only got one spot in the mix, and it's a proper reef set-up that takes a bit of savvy. The water's sitting about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 72°, so that's a nice little bonus.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty quiet. We're looking at Monday the 7th with a glassy morning and a long-period 1.6 ft NW groundswell, but the energy is weak, and honestly, it's not really doing much. That morning window is the only real nod to anything rideable, and it's tiny. After that, we drift into a few days of very ordinary conditions with onshore winds messing things up.

Thursday the 10th morning is where things start to perk up a bit. We get glassy conditions again and a cleaner 4.3 ft swell from the NNW with moderate energy (340). It's a notable improvement. Friday the 11th is super clean again but the swell drops right back to 2.0 ft and barely any energy (73) – a bit of a tease.

Now, hold onto your board. Sunday the 13th morning is a real standout. We're talking glassy conditions, a solid 3.6 ft NNW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, and serious energy building to 543. The water's clean and that long-period groundswell will wrap nicely into that reef. It's going to be a proper session, but expect company – this spot can get crowded often.

Monday the 14th morning carries that energy on with a clean 4.6 ft NNW swell (554 energy), cross-off wind, and a 12-second period – another top-tier window. Then Tuesday the 15th is smaller and more ordinary.

We have a bit of a lull before the next big pulse. Wednesday the 16th brings some size but the wind goes cross-on and choppy, so it's messy.

The real heavy-hitter is looking like Sunday the 20th morning. We've got a clean, cross-off wind again, a 5.2 ft NW swell with a 12-second period, and energy jumping to 819. That's some serious grunt for the reef, and the conditions look excellent. This is the second standout.

But the absolute best on offer? That has to be Monday the 21st morning. Glassy. A 6.6 ft NNW groundswell with a 12-second period and energy rocketing to 1246. That's proper, powerful swell. That reef is going to be firing. For experts only at that size – it'll be a big, heavy wave. This is the one to circle in the diary.

So, to sum up: it's a slow start, but the second week has two absolute crackers. Sunday the 20th morning and Monday the 21st morning are your prime calls. The swell on the 21st will be big and strong, so only for those who know what they're doing. The conditions are set to be clean, and the reef will handle that long-period groundswell beautifully.

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.
