Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G'day, Rusty here. Let's talk about the Menakoz forecast over the next couple of weeks. For the most part, it's looking really small and messy, but there's one window that might get your attention, even if it's not perfect.
The first surf we get is on Saturday morning, the 4th of July. The water's sitting at a toasty 73°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year. There's a glassy 3ft swell from the NW, but the energy's weak (185), and it just feels average. You might pick off a few on the right board, but don't get too excited.
The real energy shows up on the morning of Saturday the 11th of July, with a jump to 5ft of short-period swell from the WNW and moderate wave energy (263). But it's blowing onshore at 12 mph from the WNW, and with a period of only 6 seconds, it's going to be lumpy and rough. Sunday the 12th of July morning is the best call of the run. We get 6ft of NW swell, the period stretches to 10 seconds, and the energy climbs to a strong 535. With a light cross-onshore wind from the N at 3 mph, it should be a lot cleaner than Saturday. That's the standout. The bigger swell holds through Monday and Tuesday the 13th and 14th of July with similar 6ft waves and strong energy, but the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore, keeping the surface bumpy. The Sunday morning is still the pick with that longer-period groundswell and the lightest breeze.
After Tuesday, it all drops off. By Wednesday the 15th you're back to little 3ft stuff with weak energy, and from there it's a long stretch of nothing worthwhile through to the 19th of July. If you're a beginner, that 6ft on the 12th might be a handful, and the 5ft on the 11th is also pushing your limits, especially with the onshore wind. Bottom line: keep an eye on Sunday the 12th morning, but otherwise, this is a pretty quiet period.
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.
