Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mundaka over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s talk about this stretch we’ve got lined up. I’ve been staring at the charts for Mundaka and, honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell to start. The first proper surfable moment doesn’t show up until Wednesday, the 22nd of July, and even then it’s just a whisper. That’s a solid twelve-day gap with nothing worth paddling for.
The whole period is dominated by a really stubborn onshore or cross-shore breeze, mostly from the west and northwest. The swell is tiny, usually under 3 feet, with a short, weak period. The energy is almost non-existent for most of it, with combined energy values sitting in the low double digits. It’s frustrating, because the water is seriously warm right now, running about 75°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s like the ocean is set up for a perfect summer session, but the swell just isn’t playing ball.
The only glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday, the 22nd of July. It’s not a classic Mundaka day by any stretch, but it’s the only window where conditions are clean. The wind will be glassy, coming from the northeast, which is a major positive. There’ll be a small 4 ft swell from the north, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is still weak, sitting at 96, but the glassy surface will make it look a lot better than it is. It’s a session for the patient, for the ones who just want to get wet in clean water. Not a standout, just the best of a very ordinary outlook.
The following Thursday morning, the 23rd, sees a bit more size, with a 6 ft swell from the west-northwest, but it’s clobbered by a moderate cross-shore breeze. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle. The 24th of July has a similar story: a solid 6 ft to 6 ft swell, but the wind is all wrong, making it a lumpy mess.
So, the bottom line is: don’t hold your breath for the next week and a half. The only real chance for a clean, if small, session is that Wednesday morning on the 22nd. Keep your expectations low and your eyes on the forecast, because it’s bound to change.

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.
