The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough stretch for a surf. This spot, Playa de Ereaga, is a sheltered beginner’s wave that rarely breaks, and this forecast does nothing to change that. For the next eight days, it's a write-off. There's simply no surf worth paddling out for. The energy just isn't there, with the combined swell energy barely creeping past 60 (69) on the best of those days. You're looking at tiny, weak swells and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds.
We finally see a glimmer of something on Monday the 10th in the morning. The wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW with a combined energy of 156. It’s only rated as surfable but very ordinary, so don't get too excited. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. After that, it's back to poor conditions and small dribble.
Even the following week, from the 11th onwards, it's still a struggle. There are a few mornings with clean-ish conditions from a light offshore or cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny, under 3ft, and the energy is weak. On Monday the 10th, it's the only window where you might get a few ankle-biters to yourself, but it's hardly a standout.
To be honest, this place is known for long flat spells, so a blank run like this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Ereaga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Ereaga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Ereaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Playa de Ereaga 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.
