Alright, Rusty here, giving you the same rundown in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
First off, water temp at Menakoz is about normal for the season, nothing unusual.
Right now, the surf is flat and sad. Waves are only 2 feet or less, weak energy around 116 to 125, and the wind is either cross or cross-on. Poor conditions all around.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are tiny – 1ft to 2ft swells from the NW, short periods around 8 to 9 seconds, and energy dropping into the 20s and 30s. Light wind, but the waves are just not there.
We get a couple glassy mornings on Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, but the swell is still only 2ft. Energy is weak, around 45 to 49. It’ll look nice but you won't be catching much.
Saturday the 11th has 2ft swell with a short 8-second period and energy at 82. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze – probably the best of this first week, but still super small.
From the 12th to the 18th, it stays small and ordinary. Sunday the 12th afternoon has a 3ft swell with 138 energy, but the wind is onshore at 15 mph, making it choppy. Not worth it.
Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy with 3ft swell but only 6 seconds period. That’s super short and weak. Energy is only 76. It’s surfable but nothing special.
Thursday the 16th morning is glassy with 2ft swell and a longer 12-second period. Energy is 125 – moderate – so the waves will have better shape, but still small.
The real standout is Sunday the 19th. Morning is glassy with 3ft swell from the NW, period of 9 seconds, and energy at 243 – that’s moderate to strong. It will be clean. Then the afternoon jumps to 6ft swell from the NW with 10-second period and energy screaming at 589. That’s strong, but the wind turns onshore with rain. For an expert reef like Menakoz, that afternoon could have some heavy sets, but it’ll be messy. Crowds are often there, so expect company.
Monday the 20th morning still has 4ft swell with 275 energy, but the wind is onshore again.
First week and a half is basically a bust. The only real chance for a good surf is the morning of Sunday the 19th. After that, it fades again.
Stay tuned, forecasts change.
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.
