Hey, Rusty here. Let’s look at Zarautz over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for most of it. The first few days—Tuesday 7th through Thursday 9th—are totally flat or just junk, with poor surf conditions and barely any energy. Don’t bother paddling out.
Then things start to look a little better on Friday 10th. Morning and afternoon both glassy, with light NW swell around 2.0ft at 9 seconds. The combined energy is modest (71 and 69) but the clean conditions make it surfable—just very ordinary. Not a standout.
Now Saturday 11th morning is the real highlight. We’ve got glassy conditions with zero wind, a clean 2.0ft NW swell at 8 seconds, and the energy bumps up to 109. That’s the best window in the whole outlook. It’s small, but clean and fun for a beginner-friendly wave like Zarautz. Afternoon goes onshore and scores drop.

Information about the Zarautz Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Zarautz provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Zarautz can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zarautz surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Zarautz) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Zarautz may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
