Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up with you about the waves at Zurriola hondartza for the next couple weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, there’s nothing to get excited about for a good, long stretch. The surf is going to be real weak and disappointing for most of this period. We’re looking at a grim start. The first small glimmer of something surfable doesn’t show up until Friday, July 10th, and even then, it's hardly a celebration.
Things kick off Tuesday morning, July 7th, with damn near nothing. We’ve got a tiny 2 ft NW swell, but the combined energy is a measly 38. The wind is glassy, but the waves are just too poor to even bother. That same sad story runs through the overnight and into Wednesday and Thursday. Small, weak swells from the NW and WNW, mostly onshore wind, and wave energy barely cracking 70. It’s a total washout.
Friday, July 10th: We finally see a pulse. Friday morning brings a small 2 ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy climbs slightly to 75, and the wind is glassy. The notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not gonna be pumping, but it might be the only time you can get a wet suit on and catch a few grovelers. Expect crowds here, as it’s the only game in town.
The weekend looks like more of the same struggle. Saturday and Sunday see the swell bumping up a tiny bit, with some cleaner conditions on Sunday morning July 12th when a light offshore from the SSE shows up with a 2 ft NW swell. But the period is 10 seconds, and the energy is still low (79). It’s clean, but the waves are going to be small and weak.
Then we hit a real blank spot. The forecast drops into a deep funk with nearly no surfable energy from around Monday July 13th all the way through to late in the month. The swells get smaller and smaller, the wind goes onshore, and the combined energy crashes down to single digits. The water temp is a very unusual 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting for a wave that doesn't come.
The only other faint pulse appears on Wednesday morning, July 22nd, with a glassy morning, a 3 ft WNW swell. The combined energy is still weak at 52. The notes again say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It might be a dawn patrol special, but it’s not going to be a standout.
Honestly, for this 16-day window, the best on offer is Friday, July 10th. The combination of glassy wind and a pulse of swell, even if small, makes it the only day that even hints at fun. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. For the rest, you’re better off waiting for a change in the weather pattern. This is a long, flat stretch for the area.
Stay patient,
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.

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.
