The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days for Playa de Ereaga are a tough watch. The forecast is packed with small, weak swell and cross-onshore winds that just won’t let up. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. The first real sniff of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 16th, and even then, it’s rough.
Let’s walk through it. From Friday, August 7th, right through to Saturday, August 15th, it’s a dead zone. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft, with poor energy readings. The wind is messy, often cross-on or onshore, and the breaks are barely showing any life. It’s a long, dry spell of almost two weeks with nothing to recommend.
Then, on Sunday morning, August 16th, we get a little pulse. The swell jumps to 4 ft, coming from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 250. That’s a moderate amount of oomph, but the wind is light and glassy early, which is a big plus. The problem is, the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the break itself is rarely breaks and sheltered from the open ocean. It’s not going to be anything special, but if you’re desperate, that morning window might offer a few clean, small waves. The afternoon turns onshore again with 5 ft, but it’s blown out.
Monday, August 17th, gets worse. The wind picks up to 19 mph from the WNW, making it cross-on and lumpy, with 3 ft waves. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. Tuesday, August 18th, has a bit more size at 7 ft from the NW, but the wind is cross-on and the report calls it “marginal.” The energy is strong at 585, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s fat and unruly. At over 8 ft, this would be for experts only, but with the wind messing it up, it’s not even that.
The rest of the window from Wednesday, August 19th, through Saturday, August 22nd, fades back into small, poor surf with onshore winds. The best stretch is probably that Sunday morning, August 16th, if you can catch it early. But honestly, nothing here is a standout. It’s a quiet, disappointing run for the Basque coast.
Rusty.
