The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the Basque Country.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell on the horizon for Menakoz. We've got a real cracker of a morning to kick things off, but you're gonna have to be patient after that. The forecast shows a long stretch of pretty ordinary, small surf, so don't be holding your breath for a week of waves.
The standout session is plain as day: Monday morning, July 27th. This is our one true highlight. Menakoz, a reef break that demands expert skill, is going to be firing. We're looking at a solid 5 feet of swell wrapping in from the NNW, and the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. The water is a balmy 75°, which is a solid 5° warmer than what's normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. The combined energy is pumping at (513), which is a healthy kick of power. It's a classic setup, but remember, this spot gets crowded often, so get in early for the best of it.
The quality drops off sharply by Monday afternoon as the wind swings cross-on. Tuesday morning, July 28th, offers a smaller, cleaner 4 feet swell with a cross-offshore breeze, which is a decent backup plan, but it's not the same beast.
From Wednesday, July 29th, right through to the end of the forecast period on August 11th, it's a long run of small, bumpy, and generally poor conditions. The swell drops below 3 feet, the periods get short, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. There are a few glassy mornings, like on August 4th, 5th, and 8th, but the swell is so tiny (2 feet or less) you'd be lucky to get a ride. Even the second week of August sees a bit of a pulse around the 9th, but it's blown out by strong westerly winds. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a pretty quiet run.
So, if you've got the skills for Menakoz, be there at dawn on Monday, July 27th. That's your one shot. After that, it's a waiting game.
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.
