Mundaka Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking out for Mundaka over the next couple of weeks.

Well, to be honest, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a slow start with no real surf on offer right through to Wednesday the 9th. The waves are small, with poor conditions and the wind is just not playing ball. You’re better off waiting.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday morning, the 10th of September. It’s not big, but for the first time, we’ve got some glassy conditions. The swell is sitting around 5 ft from the NW with a moderate combined energy (363), and it’s clean. It’s still relatively small, so it’s not a standout, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Now, what we’re really waiting for is Sunday the 13th of September. The morning session is the pick of the week so far. We’ve got a clean 4 ft NW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, glassy offshore wind, and a solid combined energy of 554. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’s going to hold up well here at Mundaka’s river mouth. The wave shape will be proper, with good energy behind it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Expect crowds though, as this spot is often busy when it’s on.

The good news is Monday the 14th of September morning looks similar: glassy, 5 ft NW swell with a 12-second period and combined energy of 558. Another clean, quality window.

After that, the pattern gets a bit messy again through the middle of the week, but then Thursday the 17th of September morning brings it back. Glassy conditions with a 5 ft NW swell, 10-second period, and combined energy of 520. It’s a bit more size, but still clean. Not quite the same quality as the 13th, but a solid option.

Looking further out, Friday the 18th of September morning also has a glassy window with 5 ft NW swell, 416 combined energy. Not a massive standout, but a decent one to keep an eye on.

And then into the second week, Sunday the 20th of September morning is another glassy day with a 4 ft NW swell and 322 combined energy. It’s a smaller, cleaner option for those who want to avoid the bigger days.

Overall, the clear standout is the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. That’s the one to circle. The Monday the 14th and Thursday the 17th mornings are also very good, but the 13th has the best combo of clean conditions, a solid groundswell, and good energy. Don’t expect much before that.

Rusty.
