The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's break down what's coming for Mundaka over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for a wave of this caliber, it's a rough stretch. The wind is a mess for the first few days, and by the time it cleans up, the swell is gone. It's a long dry spell before anything even looks surfable.
The best chance we get is Monday, July 27th. That morning, the stars finally line up. We've got a glassy 1.4m NW swell rolling in with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (400) and the river mouth should be handling it nicely. That's the one session in the whole window that has a real chance at being special. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
But that's it. By Monday afternoon the wind swings onshore and chops it up. Tuesday the 28th is a write-off with messy cross-shore wind. Wednesday the 29th morning is clean but the swell has dropped to 1.0m, and it's just ordinary. The rest of the first week is tiny, weak, and mostly blown out.
The second week doesn't offer much redemption. We get a bit of a pulse on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, with a 1.3m NW swell, but the period is a long 11 seconds and the wind is already cross-shore. It's marginal at best. The next morning, Monday, August 3rd, is glassy again with a 1.6m NW swell, but the energy is strong (561), and that long period might make it a bit tricky at certain spots. Still, it's the only other real stand-out in the entire forecast. After that, it's back to tiny, weak, and onshore for the rest of the run.
So, to be blunt, the surf is mostly poor for the next two weeks. Keep your eyes on Monday morning, July 27th, and maybe Monday morning, August 3rd, but don't hold your breath for much else.
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.
