The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for most of the next week, it's a slow grind out there at Playa de Ereaga. There's swell on the cards, but the conditions are just ordinary, so we're going to have to wait it out. The first genuine window of opportunity doesn't show up until the very end of this run.
We're looking at a long, quiet stretch from now all the way through the first week of September. There's small swell on Tuesday, but it's cross-shore and weak - combined swell energy is only 37, so barely a ripple. The rest of the week stays poor. By Friday the 28th, the swell picks up to about 5 ft from the NW with the energy climbing to 330, but it's still messy. The wind is okay, but the surf just isn't coming together.
Then it gets really interesting starting Sunday, September 6th. That morning, the stars align. We get a clean 6 ft NW groundswell with an offshore wind from the SE. The combined swell energy jumps to 794, and it's glassy clean. That's our first real standout – it's the one to pencil in. It's solid but not insane, so it's doable for confident intermediates, though at 6 ft, the beginners might want to watch from the sand first.
Looking further out, the swell builds to a big peak around Tuesday, September 8th. We're looking at a 10 ft swell from the NW with a very long 15-second period. The energy is massive at 4024. That is serious, expert-only territory. It's 10 ft, so that's for the big dogs only. It's also a long-period groundswell which, at a beach setup like this, can be a bit straight and hard to manage, but there will be some serious power moving through. The wind is cross-onshore for the morning though, so it won't be perfect. Then Wednesday morning, September 9th looks promising again – a solid 5 ft NNW groundswell with glassy conditions and clean lines.
So to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The real action starts September 6th with a fun, clean swell, and then a massive, expert-level pulse rolls in around the 8th. Keep your eyes on that Sunday the 6th.
