The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
First, the honest truth: Playa de Ereaga (Biscay) is locked in a tough stretch. The finder gave me nothing to work with for a solid recommendation for the first fifteen days of the outlook. The guidance says it’s a beginner spot that rarely breaks, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing. There’s a long, quiet gap with no real surf on offer.
From Thursday 16th July right through to Wednesday 30th July, the swell is tiny – mostly below 3 ft, with short, weak periods. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits, which is weak. The wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. The water is running at 74°, which is 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s notably warm, but it’s not helping the waves.
The only glimmer of hope, and it’s a long-range standout, arrives on Friday 31st July. We see a jump in swell to 6 ft from the NW, with a period up to 12 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and it brings the combined energy up to a strong 945. The morning is looking glassy with a light NE breeze. That’s the only window where the model says "expect good surf conditions," though it’s still a low score. It’s a promising but less certain call way out there. The size is solid for beginners, but with the long period, it might be a bit more lined up and powerful than usual for this beach. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore kick, so the window is tight.
So, that’s your lot. A long wait, then a potential one-morning window on the 31st. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
