Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer.
Right now, and for the entire 16-day outlook, the surf situation at Mundaka is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, dry run with no real surf to get excited about. The first week especially is a write-off – tiny, weak, and mostly messy. There’s a stretch from July 11th right through to July 24th where the waves are just not happening. You’ve got swell heights barely cracking 2 ft most days, with short, weak periods. The combined energy is pitiful, often below 100 (like 82 on Saturday morning, dropping to a measly 14 on Wednesday 15th). Winds are mostly cross or onshore, and even the few glassy moments (like Tuesday 14th morning) only bring a 1.0 ft wave with almost no energy (23). It’s flat, it’s frustrating, it’s a blank spell. For an area like this, a run this quiet is a bit unusual, but it happens. The water temp is a standout, though – 75°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so if you’re just going for a swim, it’s warm.
Even into the second week, from July 21st onward, there’s a little more energy showing up in the numbers – like 159 on Wednesday 22nd morning – but that’s paired with a 3 ft NNW swell and cross-onshore wind, which is still gonna be weak and choppy. Nothing worth paddling out for. By July 24th, the swell direction shifts to NW with longer 10-second periods, but it’s crossed up and messy with fresh winds. There is no standout session. No hidden gem. The best I can say is keep an eye on things around the 22nd if you’re a wave-starved expert who can handle onshore chop, but honestly, I’d save your energy. For a river mouth like Mundaka, which needs a clean NW groundswell and offshore winds to fire, this forecast is a total dud. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard in that Wednesday afternoon cross-onshore.
This is a stretch where the ocean is just taking a nap. Don’t force it. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.

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.
