Alright, this is Rusty. Let me level with you straight up. The next couple of weeks at Mundaka? It's gonna be a tough watch. The setup is there, that famous river mouth, but the ocean just isn't cooperating for a proper session.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’re starting with a real flat spell. For surf, we're looking at tiny waves for the first week and a bit. The early days, from the 5th to the 16th of July, are mostly a write-off. There are long gaps of days where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll see plenty of mornings with glassy conditions, like the 5th, 9th, 15th, and 16th, which is a major positive for the look of the water, but the swell is just too weak to push anything meaningful down the point. The combined swell energy is laughably low, often in the double digits or low triple digits, like the 102 on the morning of the 5th.

Things try to get a little interesting around the 12th and 13th, with the swell height bumping up to a little over 4 ft, but the wind is an issue—mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore—and the period is short, ruining any chance of a clean wave. It’s choppy and messy.

Then, the one real standout of the whole forecast, and it's a long way off, is on Friday the 17th of July. That morning, we see a proper bump in the groundswell, hitting nearly 6 ft from the WNW. The combined energy jumps up to 282, which is a serious pulse of energy for this spot. The wind is cross-shore, which isn't perfect, but it's the biggest swell we see. Now, this is a wave for experts only. At over 5 ft, Mundaka starts throwing out heavy, critical barrels, especially with that river mouth current. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit lumpy and won't have that long, clean groundswell travel. It's a promising, but less certain call being so far out. The swell direction of WNW is offshore for Mundaka, which is ideal.

The water temperature on the 5th of July is sitting at 73°F. That’s a massive 6° above what’s normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, a real anomaly. The water is noticeably warmer than you’d expect, so you can leave the thicker wetsuit at home.

So, honestly? If you’re dead set on Mundaka, wait to see if that Friday the 17th morning materializes. Otherwise, the setup over this whole stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer to get some air than for a paddle surfer to get a decent wave. The conditions are just against us.

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.
