Urbiztondo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you—looking at the next couple of weeks for Urbiztondo Beach, the surf situation is pretty grim. It’s a sandbar break that’s consistent, but it's a beginner spot, and the conditions are just not playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a bath, but you won’t need a steamer.

The first real chance to even paddle out is on Tuesday afternoon, August 4th. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, which will keep it clean, but it’s just not much to work with. The combined energy is only 65, so it’s super weak. It’s surfable, but only just.

Then there’s a big gap. Nothing worth recommending until we get to the second week. On Sunday, August 9th, the swell jumps up hard, but the wind is a disaster. We’re talking 8ft to 10ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a lot of power, with combined energy hitting 1219 on Sunday morning and 1434 in the afternoon. But the wind is cross-onshore and strong, anywhere from 16 to 19 mph. It’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and messy. For a beginner break like this, that’s not fun. It’s more of a kite-surfing kind of setup with that wind and swell.

The next day, Monday, August 10th, is more of the same. Still 10ft from the west, 10 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, with the energy peaking at 1847 in the afternoon. It’s a lot of water moving, but the quality is poor. Not for the faint of heart.

Later in the week, Thursday morning, August 14th, there’s another pulse of 8ft from the west, 10 seconds, with a combined energy of 1265. Again, the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. This is expert-only territory if you’re even thinking about it.

The best chance for a clean session is actually right at the tail end. Saturday afternoon, August 15th, we get a tiny 1ft swell from the west-northwest, with a long period of 11 seconds. The wind goes glassy, coming from the east at just 3 mph. The combined energy is only 59, so it’s weak, but it will be glassy and clean. After weeks of junk, that’s the standout. It’s not going to be big or powerful, but for a mellow longboard session, it’s the only option that looks good.

Overall, it’s a tough run. The consistent swell is there in the second week, but the wind just ruins it. The only real standout is that glassy window on the 15th. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t hold your breath.
