The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you: the next 16 days are a tough watch for Mundaka. The whole window is a flat, gutless run with no real surf to get excited about. From now through to the 13th of August, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. We’re talking about a 16-day gap with no recommendations at all. It’s a blank run, and honestly, for a spot like this, it’s just one of those spells where the ocean shuts down. Don’t let it get you down – forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this poor for long.
Let’s walk through the little scraps we get. Wednesday the 29th of July offers tiny 3 ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, mixing with a cross-shore wind in the morning, then turning cross-onshore and choppy in the arvo. Combined wave energy is weak at 117 (moderate) in the morning, dropping to 83 by afternoon. The water is sitting at 74°, which is 4° warmer than normal – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll feel it. But it’s all small and messy.
Thursday the 30th isn’t any better: 2 ft to 2 ft NW swell, light cross-onshore wind, and energy as low as 65. Friday the 31st sees a glassy morning with 2 ft NW swell, period 8 seconds, and energy of just 41 – the ocean is dead flat. Saturday the 1st of August brings a tiny 3 ft NNW swell, but cross-onshore wind and a period of 8 seconds, energy 85. Sunday the 2nd is glassy again with 2 ft swell, but still not enough to break a board.
The whole first week is limp. The second week is even worse. From Monday the 3rd all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, we’re stuck with 0.3 ft to 1 ft swell, periods dropping to 5-10 seconds, and energy figures as low as 10 to 47. The only highlight is a glassy morning on Tuesday the 4th and Saturday the 8th, but there’s simply no energy to ride.
Things look like they might try to pick up on Sunday the 9th of August. A 2 ft NW swell with a 5-second period – that’s short period, wind swell, not much grunt. Energy at 38 in the morning, then the afternoon jumps to 114 with a 2 ft NW swell and 10-second period, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy with 16 mph wind. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than paddle surfing.
Monday the 10th of August shows the biggest swell of the entire window: 4 ft from the NW, 8-second period, and combined energy of 149 (moderate). But it’s cross-shore with a cross-chop and 16 mph wind, so it’ll be lumpy. Still, for a spot that’s been dead, this is the only day that might have a few rideable lumps if you’re desperate. The afternoon drops to 3 ft, same direction, but cross-onshore and choppy.
From Tuesday the 11th through to Thursday the 13th of August, it’s back to 1 ft to 3 ft, NNW swell, periods of 5-8 seconds, and energy below 86. The ocean is just not cooperating.
There is no standout here. The best you could hope for is the morning of Monday the 10th of August, with 4 ft NW swell and the highest energy all window (149), but the wind is messy and it’s hardly a classic Mundaka session. That’s a long-range call, too – so take it with a grain of salt. For now, leave the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

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.
