The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for our local surf. Let’s be straight with you – the first ten days or so are a tough stretch. The forecast shows a lot of lumpy, cross-onshore wind and poor quality surf, with only a few small windows of something rideable. The water is a wild 77°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s freakishly warm, so you’ll be shedding the steamer.
The first real chance to get a decent wave is on Tuesday morning, July 28th, at Zurriola hondartza. The swell is coming from the NW at 4 ft, a solid groundswell with a long 10-second period, which will give you some proper push. What makes it a standout is the glassy conditions – the wind is a mere 3 mph from the ENE, and the water is clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at 309, so there’s some life in the water. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you’ll get waves, but crowds are possible, so get there early for a peak.
Now, the real winner for the whole forecast is shaping up for Tuesday afternoon, August 4th. After a long, dry spell of poor conditions, this is the one to circle. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the NW, but the period is a beautiful 10 seconds again, and the wind turns offshore and clean from the SE at 9 mph. The energy is strong at 400, and the water will be clean. This is intermediate-level surf, but it won’t be too big for most. It’s a proper reward for the patience.
The morning of Wednesday, August 5th, is also looking good, with a glassy 4 ft WNW swell and zero wind, offering another clean session. The energy is moderate at 340. And into Thursday morning, August 6th, we have another glassy morning with an ESE wind and a 4 ft NW swell, with energy at 206. These are the only real standouts in a pretty bleak second week.
The rest of the days are either too small, onshore, or just not worth paddling out for. The surf from late July into early August is mostly a write-off, with a big gap of no real quality for about a week before that August 4th window. Hang in there, the water is warm, and that Tuesday afternoon in August is the one to save your energy for.
Rusty.
