Alright, talkin' in feet and miles now. This Basque forecast is a real slow burn, and I ain't gonna sugarcoat it.
The first week and a half is dead. From Thursday, July 9th, all the way through to the morning of Saturday, July 19th, there's hardly any surf. The wave energy is tiny, usually under 100 (weak), and the wind is mostly blowing in the wrong direction, chopping up the little bumps we get. You'll see a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th, but the swell is only 2ft to 2ft – barely a ripple. It's a long, flat spell, so don't bother checking the cams.
Things start to look a little more interesting around Sunday, July 19th. By Sunday morning, we've got a 3ft NW swell, but the wind is still cross-onshore from the ENE. The energy climbs to 132 (moderate), but the conditions are still poor. Monday the 20th has a bit more size, with a 4ft NW swell in the morning, but again, that cross-shore WNW wind keeps it messy. The water is a surprise, though – at 75°F, it's much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The one real standout, and the only time you might want to paddle out, is the morning of Friday, July 24th. We're looking at a 6ft NW swell, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 428 (strong). That's a proper pulse for this spot. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WNW, which is a bit of a bummer, but it's the best we've got. Mundaka (Bizkaia) is a world-class river mouth, and that NW swell is exactly what it wants. A 6ft swell here can produce some serious, hollow rights for the experts. The crowds are often there, and the onshore wind will keep it from being pristine, but it's the only game in town. Keep in mind, it's a long-range call – Friday is over two weeks out, so it's promising but not set in stone.
So, a whole lot of nothing, then a little flash of hope at the end. Don't go planning your trip around it just yet.

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.
