The Lowdown

Alright, let's get real about the next couple of weeks. It's a slow start, no two ways about it. There's a lot of small, weak surf on the menu, but there are a couple of clean windows where you can get a fun one on a log or a mid-length. Hold tight.

The water is a warm 75.7° at the start, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. You'll be surfing in boardies or a thin spring suit, no question.

The first few days at Zurriola hondartza (Basque Country) are flat and messy. Ankle biters with no push. There's a hint of energy on Sunday the 9th, but it's weak, around 2ft, and the wind is all wrong. Not worth the paddle. The 10th and 11th are even smaller. There are some glassy mornings, but with the swell under 3ft and weak energy readings in the 50-80 range, it's just not breaking with any kind of form.

This pattern holds until mid-week. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are still small, with light winds, but the swell is from the NW at a short period. Not seeing it.

Now, the first real sign of life is Friday the 21st. The energy jumps to 513, with a solid 6ft of NW groundswell. The period is 9 seconds. But, the wind is cross-onshore in the morning, which will make it a bit lumpy. It's a step up in size, but not in quality.

The standout window, and I mean the one to circle, is Saturday morning the 22nd. That's when it all clicks. The swell is still a solid 4ft from the NW, energy is strong at 294, and the wind goes glassy. Absolutely glassy. This will be the cleanest surf of the entire run. Smooth faces, some push, proper waves. Get out there early. The afternoon goes onshore and lumpy, so it's a morning mission.

After that, it's back to the small stuff. The following week looks like more of the same, with small waves and a bit of texture. Nothing else on the horizon screams epic, but this Saturday morning is the one.

The setup on the 21st could be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind gets up later in the day. But for us, on a surfboard, it's the Saturday glass that's the pick of the bunch.

Keep it on your radar. It's a promising looking window, but it's still a week and a half away, so don't get too excited yet. Forecasts can change this far out.

Stay stoked.

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.
