Table - best surf conditions forecast for Zurriola hondartza over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles, same story, different numbers.
Right now, this stretch is basically flat. There’s a big dry spell ahead before anything even barely worth mentioning. The first real chance of any surf comes on the 10th of July, but it’s nothing special.
The only break in the forecast is Zurriola hondartza. It’s an exposed beach break, consistent enough. Water temp is 77°F, which is about 9°F warmer than usual — that’s really unusual, feels like a warm bath.
Thursday afternoon, the 9th of July: forget it. Tiny 2ft NW windswell, weak period, onshore wind. Just messy.
Friday morning the 10th is the closest we get to a real session. Glassy, light wind, waves around 2ft from the WNW at 9 seconds. Combined energy is very low. You can surf but it’s small and ordinary.
Saturday and Sunday offer nothing clean. Offshore wind on Sunday morning (12th) gives you clean conditions but the swell is barely 2ft.
From Monday the 13th onward it’s all onshore winds, tiny waves, periods dropping into the 4-5 second range — just bumpy wind chop.
A slight pickup around the 21st of July: Tuesday morning brings 3ft from the WNW at 8 seconds, combined energy finally moderate. But winds are cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and bumpy. The rest of that week stays around 3ft but always with messy wind.
There’s no real standout here. Your best bet is the glassy, tiny morning of the 10th or the slightly bigger but bumpy morning of the 21st. Nothing to get excited about.

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. If you surf the same spot (Zurriola hondartza) 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 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.
