The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local stretch. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the 16-day window, it's a real flat spell for the most part. The water's sitting at a balmy 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait won't be a cold one.
We're at Zurriola hondartza, and the first real chance of anything surfable doesn't even show up until Wednesday, August 5th. That's a long stretch of nothing. Even then, it's a small, weak pulse. The morning of the 5th has a glassy 2ft swell from the WNW, with a period of just 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 42, and the report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not worth getting excited about, but it's the first time we can even get wet.
The pattern doesn't really improve. We get a slight bump in energy around Thursday the 6th, with the swell hitting 3ft from the NW. The combined energy climbs to 126, which is still very weak. But the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions." This isn't what we'd call a standout.
Honestly, the only period that starts to look like a real swell is right at the very end of the forecast. We're talking about Monday, August 17th, in the afternoon. The swell is expected to be 4ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 290, which is the highest we've seen, but still moderate. It's a long-range forecast, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's the only real hope on the horizon. The wind is forecast to be onshore from the NW, so it'll be a bit bumpy, but with that size, there might be some fun, punchy waves for the more experienced crew.
So, to sum it up: this is a lean period. The first week is a write-off. The second week offers a small chance of something on the 17th, but it's a long way off and conditions aren't perfect. Hang tight, the forecasts can change, but for now, don't expect much.
