Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mundaka over the next 16 days.
Alright, grab a coffee, let's see what’s cooking. It’s shaping up to be a quiet, frustrating stretch for a while. We’re looking at a long dry spell ahead.
Right off the bat, we’ve got nothing for days. The first serious surf option doesn't show up until Thursday, July 23rd. That’s a solid two-week gap of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions. It’s gonna be a test of patience.
The only blip on the radar comes right at the very end of the forecast window. Mundaka (river) finally wakes up on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. We’re seeing a 7ft swell out of the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all the swells here is moderate (575). That’s a solid, powerful wall of water for this spot. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, which should keep things reasonably clean for the experts. But listen, 7ft is proper, heavy stuff—this is strictly for experienced surfers only. It’s gonna be a serious, powerful wave. It’s the only real standout in the whole 16 days, and while the quality is marginal, it’s all we’ve got. Expect crowds to be on it, as it’s often busy when it turns on. Later in the afternoon, the wind swings onshore, and the swell stays big but gets lumpier.
Before that? It’s a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak swell—think 0.7ft to 2ft—with periods all over the place, mostly under 10 seconds. The wind is frequently onshore or cross-onshore, making for bumpy, ugly surf. There’s a couple of glassy mornings early on, like Monday, July 13th, but with only 1ft of swell and a short period, it’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, but that doesn't help the lack of waves.
So, in short: wait it out. If you’re a hardcore expert, circle July 23rd on your calendar for a possible session at Mundaka, but keep expectations in check given it’s so far out. For everyone else, it’s a long, flat spell.

Information about the Mundaka Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mundaka provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mundaka can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mundaka 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 (Mundaka) 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 Mundaka 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.
Mundaka is 2 km (1 miles) from Bermeo. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bermeo. Bermeo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
