The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this straight. For the next 16 days, we are looking at a pretty grim run for Menakoz. There are some whispers of something better towards the end of next week, but honestly, this is a stretch of poor surf that will test your patience. The first few days are a write-off, and there’s a big gap before anything even remotely surfable shows up.

The water is sitting at 76°F which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the paddle won’t be cold.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday morning, 27 July at Menakoz. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. We’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the NNW, with a long period of 11 seconds. That’s groundswell, so it’ll have some push, but that long period at a reef break can make for some tricky, straight lines. The wind is a light 3 mph from the north, almost onshore, but it’s clean enough to make it rideable. The combined energy is moderate at 433. It’s marginal, but it’s the only window that’s not totally blown out.

Then Tuesday morning, 28 July, is your next best bet. The swell drops to 4 ft from the NNW, still with a decent 10 second period. The wind is a light 6 mph from the east, which is a nice cross-offshore breeze. That’s going to give you clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is 314, moderate. This is the cleanest surf of the whole period. For a reef break like Menakoz, that offshore wind will really open it up. But remember, it’s an expert spot, and with “often” crowds, you won’t have it to yourself.

After that, the surf just fades away. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday, 29 July, but with a tiny 3 ft swell, it’s barely worth a paddle. The rest of the week and into August is a flat, windy mess. There’s a small spike of 2 ft swell on Thursday morning, 30 July, with clean conditions, but it’s just too small to get excited about.

From 31 July right through to 8 August, the swell is consistently below 2 ft. The combined energy drops to double digits, and the wind is often cross-on or onshore. It’s not surfable, plain and simple. The only highlight in that dead zone is Wednesday afternoon, 5 August, with a 2 ft swell, but a very long 12 second period, giving a weak 115 combined energy. It’s still poor, but the long period is a tease.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Tuesday morning (28 July) is the one. Light offshore wind, clean 4 ft groundswell. It’s not epic, but it’s the best we’ll see. The rest of the 16 days is a skip.

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.
