The Lowdown
Grab your board, but maybe leave it in the car for a while. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for Mundaka. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, and it’s going to take a while before anything remotely rideable shows up.
We’re starting off with almost nothing. Through the 8th and into the middle of the month, we’re looking at dribbly bits of swell, mostly under 2ft, with short periods and weak energy. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-on, and even the glassy mornings won’t save these tiny waves. The water is sitting at 75°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a nice touch, but it won’t make up for the lack of waves.
There’s a little bump of energy around the 14th and 15th, with the swell pushing to 3ft and the energy climbing into the low 100s, but it’s still messy and the period is short. It’s not worth getting excited about. The 16th and 17th see a few cleaner windows with glassy mornings, but the swell drops back down to 2ft and the energy is weak. It’s still not surfable.
The real wait is for the 21st. That’s the first day where the swell actually shows up. We’re looking at 6ft on Friday morning, with a period of 11 seconds and the energy jumping way up to 799. That’s a proper pulse of groundswell, but the wind is cross and light in the morning, which is okay, but it’s still a bit onshore for Mundaka to be at its best. The afternoon gets choppier with a moderate cross-onshore. It’s the only real option in the whole window, and it’s promising, but it’s far out and the conditions are a bit iffy. It’s a one-day wonder, though, as the swell fades quickly back down to 4ft on the 22nd and then it’s gone again.
So, the long and short of it: the first ten days or so are a write-off. The 21st is the standout, but it’s a long way off and needs the wind to cooperate. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath. If you’re desperate, maybe look for a spot that handles this small stuff better, but for Mundaka, it’s a waiting game.

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.
