The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.

The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. The main spot on the radar is Menakoz, a reef break that needs a solid northwest swell and clean wind to fire. We’re not getting that.

There’s a long, frustrating gap. No surf worth mentioning from the start of the period right through until the morning of Wednesday, the 19th. That’s nearly two weeks of basically nothing. On Wednesday the 19th morning, we finally see a small pulse of swell. The waves are only 3ft from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (84). The wind is glassy, though, which is a major positive – it’ll be clean. But the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. It’s surfable, but barely.

Looking further ahead, the standout might be the Friday afternoon of the 21st. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the WNW, with moderate energy (233). The problem is the wind is howling onshore from the NW at 16 mph. That’s going to make it a choppy, blown-out mess at this reef. For a spot that’s already an expert-only wave, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean surf day. The small window of glassy conditions on the 19th is the only real chance for a clean wave, but you’ll be scratching for scraps.

The water temperature at Menakoz is 75°F with an anomaly of 5°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.

So, for the whole 16-day window, the best on offer is that Wednesday morning, 19th of August, with tiny, clean waves. It’s not a standout for the ages, but it’s the only time the stars align for a quiet, glassy session. Don’t expect much.

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.
