Urbiztondo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Urbiztondo Beach has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim picture for the next two weeks. There are no standout surf options here, and the waiting game is going to be a long one.

The whole start of the period is a write-off. From Wednesday, July 29, right through to the start of August, there’s basically nothing to ride. The water is a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. We’re looking at a gap of nearly a week of flat, unrideable conditions.

A tiny pulse shows up on the morning of Tuesday, August 4, with a 2 ft swell from the west, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-onshore. The combined energy is a measly 35 – that’s weak. It’s still a no-go.

We get a little more energy on the morning of Friday, August 7. A 2 ft swell from the west-northwest, but this time the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, which is a solid positive. The combined energy is 72 (weak), but the conditions would be the cleanest of the bunch. Still, it’s barely a ripple.

Then the real trouble hits. Saturday, August 8, sees a massive jump in swell to 10 ft from the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy rockets to 1723 (strong). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 18 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. This is a messy, powerful, and dangerous wave – only for experts, and even then, the wind is a nightmare. Sunday, August 9, is even worse, with similar size and a fresh cross-shore wind at 21 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop (energy at 2521). This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.

The size drops back down through the second week, but the wind stays onshore or cross-shore, and the energy stays weak. The morning of Monday, August 10, has a 5 ft swell from the west-northwest (10-second period, 431 energy), but the cross-shore wind at 15 mph makes it a chop fest. The rest of the week is just a slow decline into flat, choppy nothing.

Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about here. It’s a blank run for Urbiztondo. The one barely mentionable moment is the clean-ish morning of Friday, August 7, with that tiny 2 ft, 10-second west-northwest swell. If you’re desperate for a longboard or a foamie, and the wind holds, you might find a knee-high crumbler. But don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
