The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get honest about the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, we’re looking at a stagnant pool out there. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. There is just no surf to get excited about at Mundaka. The first two weeks of August are looking like a write-off. The combined swell energy barely nudges into three digits on a couple of afternoons (161 on August 8th), but even then, the conditions are poor. It’s a long wait with nothing on the table.
The only glimmer, and I mean a distant glimmer, is around the morning of Saturday, August 8th, into Sunday, August 9th. We see a small pulse of swell bumping up to about 3ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is modest (92). Then on Saturday afternoon it touches 3ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 161. But here’s the kicker – the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, chopping it up. For a river mouth like Mundaka that needs clean lines, this is a mess. It’s a classic case of "looks like something, feels like nothing."
I wouldn’t call anything a standout. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, maybe the early glass-off on Friday morning, August 7th, could offer a tiny, clean knee-high ripple (0.7ft, WNW, 10-second period) with no wind. But that’s a long shot for a sliver of surf. The rest is all light wind ripples or onshore chop on waves too small to bother with. For the hardcore, there’s nothing here. For everyone else, it’s a beach day.
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.
