Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mundaka over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf for Mundaka.
Right now, we're staring at a long, flat spell. From today all the way through to about Thursday the 24th, there's basically nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, weak, and the conditions are just poor. This kind of quiet run isn't that unusual for the area, so don't sweat it too much. Forecasts change.
But if you're patient, there's a big payoff coming. The only real standout is Saturday the 25th. We've got a serious groundswell arriving from the northwest, which is the money direction for this spot. The energy is massive, and we're looking at waves around 7 ft. That's solid overhead and powerful. The period will be around 10 seconds, so you'll feel the push.
For Saturday morning, the wind is going to be a fresh cross-shore from the west-northwest, which will put a bit of a chop on the surface. It won't be perfect, but with that much swell moving, the river mouth will still have proper shape. This is strictly for experts – at that size, it's no place for beginners. It's a heavy, powerful wave.
Sunday the 26th will still have some energy, dropping to about 5 ft from the northwest with a gentler cross-shore breeze. That'll be a much more user-friendly size for the experienced crowd, but still with a good amount of punch.
As for the water, it's 74 °F, which is over 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a big anomaly – you'll be fine in a shorty or even a spring suit.
In short, the next week is a write-off. Don't bother. Ride the sand at the beach. But circle Saturday the 25th of July on your calendar. That's the one window that's got what we're all after. It's going to be big and raw, and if you're good enough, it'll be worth the wait.
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.
