The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it for Menakoz. It's a reef, so you need to know what you're doing. The water's sitting at roughly 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season.
There's a dry spell at the start, so we're waiting until next Sunday morning, September 6th, before we see anything real. And that morning is the one to beat. A clean 5ft swell from the NNW, 12-second period, and glassy conditions with the wind off the land at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a solid moderate 524. This is the pick of the entire outlook. Crowds are often here, so get in early.
The afternoon goes cross-onshore and the quality drops right off. Monday and Tuesday are flat and pretty ordinary with onshore winds and tiny surf.
We get a second good morning on Thursday, September 10th. Glassy, 4ft swell from the NNW, 10-second period, and moderate energy at 351. It's workable and clean, but not as good as the Sunday session.
After that, it’s a long stretch of weak, small surf with cross-onshore winds ruining the shape. Most mornings are just "ordinary."
Then Sunday the 13th – a clean morning with glass, a 3ft swell from the NNW, a longer 13-second period, and moderate energy at 288. It’s clean and fun for the experienced.
Monday the 14th morning has clean cross-offshore winds with a 4ft NW swell. Good shape again. But the real one further out is Thursday the 17th of September. It’s a promise, not a guarantee, but it looks unreal. A flat calm morning, zero wind, glassy, with a 5ft NW swell and strong energy reading at 450. Circle that date.
So, the standout is the September 6th morning, with the 17th morning as the other big one to keep an eye on. The rest is small or choppy.
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.
