Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mundaka over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. From Wednesday the 8th right through to the morning of Saturday the 18th of July, the surf is pretty much flat. Small, weak, and just not worth the effort. You'll be staring at a lake for over a week.
The first sign of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 18th. *Mundaka* is the only option. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 178. The big positive is the wind – glassy, dead calm. That means the river mouth could be looking real clean and peeling nicely for the early birds. Just keep in mind that 8-second period isn't the long-period groundswell that makes Mundaka truly world-class. But with no wind and some size, it's the best on offer.
By Saturday afternoon, the wind picks up onshore and the swell jumps to 7ft. That's expert territory, and with the cross-onshore wind, it'll be a bumpy, nasty mess. Sunday the 19th, Monday the 20th, and Tuesday the 21st all see solid 6ft to 8ft swell (energy readings from 327 up to a very strong 822), but the wind is howling from the NW and WNW, turning the place into a choppy, blown-out washing machine. At that size with that wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing gig than a paddle-surfing one.
Wednesday the 22nd sees the wind drop back offshore and the swell settle to 4ft, with a moderate 216 energy, but still a short period. It’s surfable, but nothing special. After that, it fades back into small, weak conditions to finish the outlook.
The Water: Water temperature is a very unusual 75°F, which is about 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It's like a warm bath, so a spring suit might be all you need.
So, the bottom line: if you want a wave, the only real chance is the morning of Saturday the 18th at *Mundaka*. Get there early, enjoy the glass, and be ready for it to get messy and big by the afternoon. For the rest of the outlook, it's a quiet one.
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.
