Mundaka Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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.
