The Lowdown
Right, lads, Rusty here with a proper look at what's coming our way for Menakoz. Let's get into it.
We're in for a bit of a mixed bag, starting off with some clean but smaller waves, then building into a really solid pulse of swell around the middle of next week. The water's sitting at a balmy 72°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
The best of the best is hands down the Saturday the 19th of September. We've got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the NNW, packing some serious punch with a combined energy of 1622. That's a lot of power. The wind is glassy in the morning, making for some absolutely pristine conditions. This is a serious wave, though – over 8ft is expert territory, so if you're not on your game, give this one a miss. The crowds are likely to be thick here too, as it's often busy.
Before that, the early part of the week is worth a paddle. Sunday the 13th of September morning has clean 4ft waves from the NW with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 490. It's a bit smaller, but clean. Monday the 14th of September morning is similar, with 4ft from the NNW and clean conditions. For the morning sessions, it’s all about these smaller, cleaner windows.
Now, there's a bit of a lull from Tuesday the 15th right through to Friday the 18th of September. The wind gets messy and the swell drops off or becomes short-period windswell, so you can leave the board in the car for those days.
After that big Saturday, the swell hangs in there. Sunday the 20th of September morning has 6ft from the NNW with clean conditions and 936 combined energy – that's still a very good wave. Monday the 21st of September morning has a powerful 7ft from the NW with a very long period of 14 seconds and huge energy of 1824, but the wind is cross-on, so it won't be as clean as the glassy days. That long period will make it better for the point and reef setup here, rather than the beach.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 23rd of September morning is a gem. Clean 5ft from the NNW with glassy conditions again – another excellent session on offer. Friday the 25th of September morning also looks great with clean 5ft from the NNW and offshore wind. It's further out, so less certain, but it's on the radar.
The last few days of the month look a bit average with onshore winds and smaller swell. Get on it when it's clean.
Rusty, signing out.

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.
