Urbiztondo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let me get straight into it, looking at the charts for Urbiztondo Beach.

Alright, to be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy waves for most of the period. The first batch of recommendations doesn't come up until the 12th, so there’s a solid week of nothing good on the cards before that. The first few days are just flat with light cross-onshore winds and nothing worth even paddling out for.

Things do start to show a little bit of life on the morning of Sunday, July 12th. We’ll see a pulse of swell push in, around 5 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the SSW, which is clean. The combined swell energy will be moderate at 453. It’s still pretty marginal though, and the water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. You’ll find some little runners on the sandbar, but it’s a bit of a gamble with the tide and consistency. That’s the only real window where something could be rideable for a few hours on the Sunday the 12th.

After that, the energy drops off fast. The rest of the week into the 16th is back to tiny, weak waves under 2 ft, with clean conditions but just not enough power to get into anything. A better swell shows up on Friday morning, July 17th, with a 6 ft groundswell from the west at 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 473. But the wind is howling from the south at 22 mph. This setup at a beach break with that much onshore wind is going to be a complete mess. It’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle day for sure.

So, the best option, if you’re desperate, is the morning of July 12th. Swell size around 5 ft from the WNW and clean cross-offshore wind. It's a beginner-friendly break so it can be forgiving, but the quality is just marginal. Don’t expect much else in the two-week window.
