The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's walk through this 16-day look for Zurriola hondartza.
It's a slow start. The first half-decent surf shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 28 July, but conditions are hit-and-miss for over a week after that. Lots of small, weak swell with bad wind that’s just not worth your time.
Right now the water temp is 25°C, which is much warmer than average for the season – a real standout.
So, Tuesday the 28th morning is the first clean window with an east cross-offshore breeze. Swell is 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period. Moderate energy here at 369. It’s the best early option, but just okay. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Saturday the 9th of August, conditions are poor: tiny surf, onshore winds, and choppy water. There’s a brief tease on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August with glassy conditions and 4ft from the NW (period 6 seconds, energy 83), and again on Wednesday the 5th with glass and 3ft from the NNW (period 7 seconds, energy 93) – but it’s just “surfable but very ordinary.”
Now the real gem is Tuesday morning, 11 August. This is your target. We’ve got a solid 6ft of groundswell from the WNW, period at 10 seconds, and strong energy hitting 712. With glassy offshore winds from the NNW, the waves will be clean and powerful. It’s going to be very good surfing for intermediate-level guys, though 6ft is on the bigger side for beginners. The swell direction lines up perfectly with the break’s optimum. Crowds can be a factor here, so get out early.
Long story short, you wait a long time for the good stuff, but that Tuesday, 11 August morning is the real deal. Lock it in.
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. 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.
