The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a real standout on Monday morning, July 27th, at Mundaka. This is a river mouth, expert-only wave, and it’s consistent. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 76°. Winds are glassy from the WNW, and we’re seeing a solid 5ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (486). That’s the pick of the entire forecast: clean, punchy, and classic Mundaka. But look, this is a flash in the pan. By Monday afternoon, the wind swings NE and it goes cross-on, ruining it.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, is still worth a look. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the NNW, but we get a clean cross-off wind from the E. The wave energy is still moderate (340). It’s a good session, but not the standout of Monday morning.
After that, we hit a long, dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon right through to the end of the first week of August, it’s pretty grim. The swell drops below 3ft, winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is weak. There’s a glassy morning on Thursday, July 30th, but the swell is only 3ft and weak (82 energy). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. This flat spell runs for about 10 days with no real recommendations.
The outlook picks up a little on Sunday morning, August 9th. We see a 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period and light cross-on wind. The energy is moderate (362). But it’s a marginal call, and the wind is not ideal. The following Monday morning, August 10th, brings a bigger 5ft NW swell (9-second period, moderate energy at 415), but the wind is cross-shore and moderate. It’s messy. Both of these are promising but uncertain this far out, and the wind is likely to be the spoiler. For a wave like Mundaka, that’s not the dream.
So, the honest truth? Monday morning, July 27th, is your absolute winner. Get it while it’s glassy. After that, you’re waiting until the second week of August for something that *might* come together, but don’t bank on it being clean.
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.
