Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, 'cause I'm gonna lay it out for you straight. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the 16-day window for Mundaka.
First off, let's be honest, the next week and a half is a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for a long time. From Monday the 13th right through to early on Monday the 27th of July, there's a massive gap of days with barely a ripple worth talking about. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and it's just not going to happen. You'd be better off taking the dog for a walk or fixing the roof.
The one real standout, and I mean the *only* one that gets the blood pumping, comes around on Monday the 27th of July. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a decent 126 (moderate), and the swell is coming from the NW at 2ft with a period of 9 seconds. That's a bit of groundswell, and for Mundaka, that's the right direction. The real treat is the wind – glassy on the Monday morning. That means the river mouth could be clean and lined up. The water is about average for the time of year.
Then, things get a bit more interesting but also more serious. By Tuesday the 28th of July, the swell is gonna push up to 6ft from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 465 (strong) and then 619 (strong) in the afternoon. That's a lot of juice. The wind is light cross-on in the morning and onshore in the afternoon, which will mess with the perfection. Honestly, at 6ft, this is getting into expert-only territory, especially for a river mouth wave that can get heavy when it's big. The sets might be too powerful and the shape could be tricky with that wind. This is more for the chargers who know the bank.
So, to wrap it up: the first two weeks are a write-off. Don't even bother checking the cam. The only day that looks promising for a clean, fun session is Monday the 27th. If you can hold out for that, you might score. The following Tuesday is bigger, but it's a fickle beast for the experienced crew only.
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.
