The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it—this stretch for Menakoz is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long run of tiny, weak swell and not much to get excited about.

Right off the start, into the first week of August, it’s flat as a tack. Swell’s all under 3 feet, mostly from the northwest, with short, weak periods—5 to 8 seconds. Energy readings are low, mostly in the 20s and 30s, barely ever cracking 50. There’s a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th, but with only 1-foot waves, it’s just flat and clean. Not worth suiting up.

A slight bump on the 6th—swell climbs to about 3 feet, energy up to 82—but it’s onshore and rainy. No good. That pattern holds through the next week: small, weak NW slop, with the occasional clean spell but nothing rideable.

Now, the only real sign of life shows up on Friday the 14th. Morning has 3-foot swell from the NNW, but the afternoon pushes it to 4 feet, period up to 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to a moderate 117. That’s the most push we’ve seen all forecast. But the wind is onshore and it gets choppy. It’s a tease, not the day.

Then Sunday the 16th morning—that’s the one window I’d actually consider. Swell drops to 2 feet, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, giving it some real groundswell punch. The water’s glassy, winds are light offshore, and Menakoz (a reef setup) might actually have a clean little wave or two breaking. It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve got. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore again.

Water temp at Menakoz is 74°F, which is about 4°F above normal for this time of year—that’s noticeably warmer than usual.

Bottom line: this is a “no surf” forecast for the most part. From the 1st through the 13th, there’s pretty much nothing recommended. That last morning on the 16th is the only real chance, and even then, it’s marginal. But Menakoz is usually fairly consistent, so a blank run like this doesn’t usually last forever. Forecasts change, and that late-period swell on the 16th hints the ocean’s starting to wake up. Maybe we’ll catch something real in the third week.

Watch the 14th–16th—that’s where the only energy is. Otherwise, you might be better off on the kiteboard.

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.
