The Lowdown
Alright, I'm Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell. For the next two weeks, there's nothing on the cards that's gonna get the pulse racing. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for surfing.
The only break on the radar is Playa de Ereaga, and it's a real shame because it's a sheltered spot that needs a proper NW swell to get going, and even then it's a fickle one that rarely breaks. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Right now, Wednesday the 29th of July, we've got a 3 ft NW swell rolling in, but that 6 mph cross-onshore wind is just messing it up. The wave energy is a measly (120), and the conditions are poor. It doesn't get any better. The afternoon kicks up to a 12 mph onshore wind, making it even worse.
Thursday the 30th is more of the same, with a 3 ft swell and onshore wind. The combined energy drops to just (94). Friday the 31st offers a moment of calm with a glassy morning, but the swell is down to a tiny 2 ft, and the energy is a weak (53). You might get a few ankle-biters, but nothing worth paddling out for.
The whole first week is a bust. Saturday and Sunday are tiny, with weak energy readings in the 30s and 50s. The second week doesn't offer any hope either. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the combined energy stays well below 100. We see a few glassy mornings, like on the 4th and 7th of August, but with no swell, it's just a flat, pretty ocean.
The only glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning shows a 3 ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and it's dead glassy. The combined energy finally ticks up to (148), which is moderate. The file calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". That's the best of a bad bunch. It's a beginner-friendly size, but for a spot that rarely breaks, a 3 ft NW swell isn't likely to deliver much. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your window, but keep expectations in the dirt. Other than that, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer most days.
Rusty.
