The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s shaping up for Zurriola hondartza over the next couple weeks.
For the first few days, there’s a proper little swell coming through. Monday morning on the 27th of July is the one to circle. We’ve got a clean 1.5m (about 5ft) NW groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy out of the NW. That’s as clean as it gets at a beach break like this. The water is sitting at 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there. The combined energy is moderate at 665. This is the best session on offer, no question. Keep in mind, crowds are *possible* here, but for a Monday morning with that quality, it’s worth the company. Monday afternoon turns poor as the wind swings cross-onshore.
Tuesday morning the 28th still has some decent 1.3m (4ft) NW swell and clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze, so you can grab another session but it’s not as high quality as Monday morning. Tuesday afternoon goes poor again. By Wednesday the 29th, the swell backs off to 1.0m (3ft) and energy drops to 163, and while the wind is glassy again in the morning, it’s just ordinary waves. The rest of that week and into the first weekend of August is a real flat spell. From Thursday the 30th through to Saturday the 8th of August, the swell barely touches 1.0m (3ft) and mostly sits around 0.3m to 0.9m (1ft to 3ft). A lot of glassy mornings but nothing to get excited about – just ankle to knee-high dribble. That’s a solid 10-day gap of poor to ordinary surf.
Now, lookin’ way ahead, Sunday the 9th of August brings a bit of hope. A fresh 1.5m (5ft) NW groundswell shows up early with another 10-second period and glassy morning winds. Combined energy jumps back up to 451. That Sunday morning is the other real standout, but we’re talking two weeks out so it’s promising but less certain. After that, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th still have some decent size at 2-1.7m (5-6ft) but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy – more of a kitesurfing setup than a clean paddle session.
So, bottom line: Monday the 27th morning is the undisputed king of this forecast. Get it while it’s clean. That second chance on Sunday the 9th of August is worth keeping an eye on, but don’t hold your breath.
