The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown. Don’t expect much for the next two weeks. The surf is flat to tiny for the first few days, and the first real chance to paddle out isn’t until Friday, August 7th. After that, it’s a long stretch of weak, small, and often messy conditions.
The only spot in the game is Zurriola hondartza. The water is running warm at 75°, which is about 5° warmer than normal – a big anomaly, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts or a light spring suit.
Your first shot is Friday morning, August 7th. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW, but the wind goes glassy early. The energy is weak at 64, so don’t expect any push. It’s a morning for a longboard or a glide, not a performance session.
Saturday morning, August 8th is more of the same – glassy with a 3ft NNW swell, but energy drops to 40. Clean, but very small.
Sunday, August 9th brings a longer-period NW swell (11 seconds) and energy of 118, but the height is still only 2ft and the wind is cross-onshore. Messy and small.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Tuesday morning, August 11th. Swell reaches 3ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and energy hits 198 – the highest we see. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the most powerful wave you’ll get all forecast. Fun for a grovel board.
Saturday morning, August 15th is another glassy morning with a 3ft NW swell and good energy at 163. Clean and small, but workable. The afternoon goes downhill with showers and onshore wind.
Sunday morning, August 16th rounds it out with glassy conditions, a 2ft NW swell, and energy of 144. A longboarder’s morning.
That’s about it. Nothing over 3ft of clean swell, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface choppy. For a beach break like Zurriola, the afternoons are more of a kite-surfing scene when the breeze kicks up. The near-term calls are solid, but the second-week windows on the 15th and 16th are just a promise for now. Bring your biggest board and a lot of patience.
Rusty.

Information about the Zurriola hondartza Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Zurriola hondartza provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Zurriola hondartza can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zurriola hondartza 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.

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 Zurriola hondartza 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.
