The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and knots.
The outlook for Playa de Ereaga is a tough one. The next two weeks are mostly a bust, with a couple of small windows that might get you wet.
The water is a warm 24°, which is about 2° above normal for August. Leave the thick rubber at home.
For the first week, forget it. From Friday the 21st to Sunday the 24th, we’ve got tiny, weak windswell and rubbish winds. Wave heights are barely a foot, and the energy is low. No go.
The first real chance is Friday morning, August 28th. A 6ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy from the WSW. Combined energy is 450 (moderate). This is a proper sunrise session. The waves will be clean, but remember this spot rarely breaks and is for beginners. 6ft is pushing it for learners. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Saturday morning, August 29th, is the best of the whole run. Another 6ft NW swell, glassy from the west, and energy of 478 (moderate). Same deal – clean and punchy, but a bit much for beginners.
Sunday morning, August 30th, is a smaller 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions. Energy is 374 (moderate). Surfable, but not a standout.
Then we hit a big dry patch from Sunday afternoon through Wednesday, September 2nd. All poor surf, onshore winds, and tiny waves. Forget it.
The next highlight is Thursday morning, September 3rd. A 7ft swell from the WNW, 8-second period, with glassy winds. Energy is 587 (moderate). This is big water – expert territory only. The short period means it’ll be dumpy. For the brave, a late-morning session could be good, but it turns onshore in the afternoon.
Friday morning, September 4th, offers a 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions, but energy of 335 (moderate) is just okay.
The last chance is Saturday morning, September 5th. A 4ft NW swell with a longer 10-second period, glassy from the WNW. Energy is 245 (moderate). This is a longer-period groundswell that will wrap into this sheltered spot, offering some shape. Small but clean, and the best for a quiet paddle.
The standout: Saturday morning, August 29th. 6ft NW swell, glassy, clean. That’s the one. Second best: Friday, August 28th, and for the big-wave crew, Thursday, September 3rd.
Rusty out.

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. Our Playa de Ereaga 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 (Playa de Ereaga) 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 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.
