Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Mundaka. I gotta be straight with you: this is a frustrating 16-day window. The forecast is a long, flat spell with a few flickers of life way out there, but nothing that’s going to get the blood pumping for a while.

Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s pretty much a desert. The water is sitting at a balmy 73°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual warm spell, but it’s not doing us any favors for waves. We’re looking at tiny 0.7ft to 2ft dribbles from the NW for days on end. The energy is weak, barely cracking 60 (62) on the combined swell scale. The wind is a mixed bag of light cross-onshore breezes or glassy mornings, but it doesn’t matter because there’s simply no swell to work with. The whole first week is a write-off.

Then we hit the second week. Things start to look a little more interesting, but it’s a slow burn. By Monday the 13th of July, we finally see the swell climb a bit, with a 4ft NW swell giving us a reading of 160 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-onshore, but it’s still not recommended. The real kicker comes on Friday the 17th of July. The afternoon shows a jump in the swell to 5ft from the WNW, with a solid 219 energy reading. The wind is onshore and choppy, but the swell is building.

But the real stand-out, the one that has my attention, is the morning of Sunday the 19th of July. That’s the one to keep an eye on. We’re looking at a 8ft NW swell with a massive 537 energy reading. That’s strong, powerful stuff. The swell direction is a perfect match for the river mouth. The catch? The wind is cross-onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which will put a chop on it. For a spot like Mundaka, that’s a big, powerful swell, but the wind is a bummer. This is expert territory only—8ft is too big for beginners. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, which means it’s wind swell, not a clean groundswell, so the shape might be a bit lumpy. Still, it’s the biggest pulse in the whole forecast.

The following Monday the 20th of July still has size, with 5ft to 5ft NW swell and 300+ energy, but it’s accompanied by rain showers and more cross-onshore wind. Then it’s back to small stuff.

So, the honest truth? For the next 10 days, you’re better off doing something else. The one standout, the Sunday the 19th, is a long-range call, so it’s promising but less certain. It’s the only real window of power in an otherwise flat outlook.

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.
