Alright, this is Rusty, givin' you the lowdown on the surf. The next couple of weeks are lookin' pretty quiet to start.
For the first week, there's almost nothin' to get excited about. The swell is tiny, and the wind is mostly wrong. The water's a lot warmer than usual for this time of year, about 77°, which feels nice, but the waves just aren't there. There's a solid ten-day stretch where you're better off doin' somethin' else.
The first real sign of life pops up around Thursday, July 23rd. That morning, the combined energy jumps to 543, and the swell is about 7ft from the WNW. That's a decent size, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it's a bit short and messy. The wind is light cross-on, so it's not perfect. Zurriola hondartza (Basque Country) is gonna get a lot of attention. That size is in the intermediate-to-big territory, and with the crowds there, it's gonna be a madhouse.
Your absolute best bet is the next morning, Friday, July 24th. The swell is still a strong 7ft from the NW, with a better 9-second period, and the energy is pumpin' at 651. The big difference is the wind: it's a glassy WSW, which is a light cross-shore. That's gonna be the cleanest, most powerful surf of the whole window. It's still too big for beginners, but for the experienced surfers, that's the one to circle.
After that, it fades out. The 27th of July has a glassy morning with a 3ft groundswell, but it's just one session before the wind gets messy again.
So, the long and short of it: you'll be waitin' a while, but the morning of the 24th of July is the real deal. Get your board ready for that one.
Rusty.

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.
