The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming.

First off, I gotta be honest – the next week and a half is a real mixed bag of frustration. For the first several days, the swell is tiny and the wind is a mess. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions before we get a couple of fleeting windows of hope.

Let's start with the big picture. For the first week, from Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, the surf is struggling. The swell is small, mostly around 2ft to 4ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy and messy. The water is currently a very warm 76°F at Mundaka, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a big anomaly, so you'll be swimming in bathwater.

The first real standout, and honestly the only true highlight in this whole 16-day window, is on Monday morning, July 27th. We get a glassy morning at Mundaka (river). The wind drops to zero, which is a major positive. The swell is a modest 4ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is a moderate 260. It's a river mouth, so a longer period NW swell like this can set up nicely. The downside? It's labelled as "surfable but very ordinary conditions" – the energy is there, but the wave shape isn't firing on all cylinders. It's still the best looking morning of the whole run, and with glassy conditions, it'll be clean. This is for experts only, as Mundaka is a tricky wave even on its best days.

Then we get another small window on Wednesday morning, July 29th, and Thursday morning, July 30th, both with glassy conditions again. Same story: 4ft from the NW, 10-second period, moderate energy (225 and 235). These are your "clean but small" options. They are promising, but the swell is still very average.

After that, the wind turns offshore on Friday afternoon, July 31st, with a SSE wind blowing at 12 mph, which is clean. But the swell drops to just 3ft with only 9 seconds of period. The combined energy is weak (107). It's clean, but it's a gutless little wave.

The rest of the run into the first week of August is a write-off. The swell disappears, dropping to 2ft and then even smaller, with poor wind and choppy conditions. The combined energy falls to 23 by the end. There's simply nothing to get excited about from the 1st of August onwards.

So, the bottom line: Your best bet is the Monday morning session on July 27th at Mundaka, or the glassy mornings on the 29th and 30th. It's not a world-class forecast, but it's the cleanest we're going to get in this stretch. Keep your expectations low and your eyes open for a change.

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.
