The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Playa de Ereaga. This spot is a sheltered, beginner-friendly beach that rarely breaks, so it’s always a bit of a gamble. The water is sitting at 74°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’ll feel nice on the skin even if the waves are lacking.
Right from the start, the swell is tiny. We’re talking 2ft of NW swell on Sunday the 9th with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is onshore and the energy is weak (102). It’s labelled as poor surf, and honestly, it’s not worth a paddle. Monday morning the 10th is glassy flatness – 2ft from the NW and dead calm, making it look pretty, but there’s no push. That sets the tone for the whole first week. Day after day, we’re seeing wind shifts, but the swell just doesn’t get above 3ft, and the period mostly hangs around 8-10 seconds. The combined energy stays below 100, which tells you the water is just lacking any real grunt. There’s a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th, but with only 2ft of swell, it’s more of a float than a surf.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th brings a bit more size, but it’s messy. Saturday the 15th afternoon has 3ft from the NNW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore, so it’s choppy junk. Sunday the 16th is similar, with cross-shore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. Not a good look.
The second week starts to wake up a little. On the 22nd of August, Saturday morning, we finally get a bit of energy. The swell is 2ft from the NW, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 141 (moderate). The wind is glassy, calm, so the surface will be clean. The call is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s the best of a bad bunch, but still not a standout. Then on the 24th of August, Monday morning, the swell hits 3ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is strong at 252. The wind is glassy again. That’s the pick of the whole forecast. The swell is still small, but the energy is there, and it’ll be clean. For a beginner spot, that’s about as good as it gets.
Overall, there’s a long gap of nothing really worth chasing from now until the 22nd. The 22nd morning is a glimmer, but the 24th morning is the best on offer. Given the spot rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal quiet spell. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that 24th morning, but don’t hold your breath.
