The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks are lookin' pretty grim for a proper wave. We're staring down a long dry spell with hardly any swell to get excited about.
The first real chance of anything rideable comes up on the morning of the 21st of July, but it's a weak little pulse. We're talkin' a tiny 3ft swell from the NNE with a short period, and the combined energy is only 102 (moderate), so it's not gonna have much push. The morning looks glassy though, which is a bonus, but the conditions are still described as "very ordinary." It's a tough one to get stoked on.
After that, it's pretty much back to square one until the 27th of July. That Monday morning, we see a bump in the swell to 5ft from the NW, with a better period of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 663 (strong), so there's finally some decent power in the water. The wind is light from the NNE, making it a cross-on breeze, but it's described as "marginal." That 5ft is starting to get a bit solid for beginners, but it's not big enough to scare off a competent surfer.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is looking like the morning of the 29th of July. The forecast is showing a clean 5ft swell from the NW, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a solid 344 (moderate-to-strong). The real selling point is the glassy conditions – wind is light from the north, so it's gonna be clean. It's a week out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. The water temp is a warm 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be comfortable out there.
For the rest of the period, the wind is generally not cooperating, and the swell is too small to bother with. The river mouth at Mundaka is a world-class wave, but it needs a specific swell and wind to fire, and we just aren't getting that. For now, save your energy.
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.
