Urbiztondo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the ocean’s got cooking for us.

To be straight with you, this stretch of coast is looking pretty quiet for a long, long while. We’ve got a solid gap in the action. There’s nothing worth getting wet for until the middle of July, so you’re looking at a dead spell of over a week and a half.

The first day that even offers a glimmer of something is Saturday the 12th of July. The swell is small and short-period, only about 1.6 ft from the north at Urbiztondo Beach. The wind is a moderate breeze from the SSE, which actually gives us clean, cross-off conditions. The combined swell energy is weak (56), so it’s nothing to get excited about, but it’s the first clean window in a while.

That said, the real standout – and the only time I’d genuinely point you toward the water – is the end of the second week. On Thursday the 17th of July, we see a proper pulse. On Friday morning the 18th, the swell pumps up to 5.9 ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a solid groundswell. The combined energy is strong (745). But here’s the catch – the wind is a fresh breeze from the SSW, blowing cross, which makes for lumpy, cross-choppy conditions. It’s not going to be glassy, but there’s real power in the water. Friday afternoon drops a little to 4.6 ft, still with a cross wind. Then Saturday morning the 19th holds 4.9 ft from the WNW, still a bit bumpy with a moderate cross breeze.

For an expert-level surf, Friday the 18th is the best on offer. The swell is a bit much for beginners at over 4.9 ft, and the period is long, so the waves will have some punch and shape. Just be ready for the chop. Water temperature is sitting around 86.5°, which is about average for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in boardshorts.

Outside of that one window, the rest of the 16 days is plagued by tiny swell, poor conditions, and onshore winds. Not much to write home about.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on that July 18th window.
