Urbiztondo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Urbiztondo Beach has on the cards. Honestly, it’s a grim start and a long, bleak run ahead. There’s a big empty gap right from the get-go, with no surf worth paddling out for until we get deep into the window. We’re looking at over a week of flat, poor conditions before anything even tries to show up.

Right now, through the rest of July and into the first week of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°F, a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but you won’t be caring about that when there’s nothing to ride. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, but the swell just isn’t there. Tiny little dribbles of 1ft to 2ft from the NW, with weak energy readings (54 to 79), and the wave comment screams “poor surf conditions.” That’s the story every single day and session until early August.

There’s a long stretch of days here, from the 29th of July right through to the 8th of August, where the swell flatlines to zero or next to nothing. A few glassy moments on the 28th and 29th of July might be nice for a paddle, but for surfing? Forget it.

Then, out of nowhere, on the 8th of August (Saturday afternoon), we get a blast. A solid 12ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy rockets up to a massive 2179, but here’s the kicker—wind is howling from the SSW at 25 mph, cross-shore and messy. It’s a full-on windy, lumpy chop. That kind of power and size at a beach break like this, with that much wind, is more of a kite-surfing show than a clean paddle session. Too big and blown-out for anyone but experts, and even then, it’s rough.

The next day, August 9th (Sunday), brings another 10ft swell from the west, period 11 seconds, energy 2251. Again, the wind is cross-onshore and fresh. A lot of water moving, but it’s going to be a washing machine. Not the clean, peeling lines you’d want.

For a standout, there’s nothing I can honestly recommend as a top pick here. The only day that gets close to *okay* is the afternoon of August 10th (Monday), with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a longer 12-second period, giving you 196 energy. The wind is cross-shore. It’s small, but that longer period might offer a bit of shape if the sandbar is kind. It’s a low-bar call for beginners at best, but don’t expect much.

So, the honest truth? Urbiztondo Beach is looking flat and poor for the majority of this 16-day window. Keep your hopes low, and maybe keep an eye on the sky for a change, but right now, it’s a long wait for nothing much.

Rusty.
