The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same picture in feet and Fahrenheit.
The first week is mostly flat. The first real chance to get wet is Monday morning, July 20th, at Zurriola hondartza. We’re looking at 3ft waves from the NNW, with a short period and weak energy (99). The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The water is 77°, which is way warmer than average for this time of year.
The real action arrives Monday, July 27th, when the swell picks up to 6ft from the WNW in the afternoon, with energy at 282. The wind is onshore, so it’s not clean. The standout is Tuesday, July 28th, in the morning. Swell is 6ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, and energy hits 499 (strong). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s the best size and power we’ll see. It’s a bit much for beginners. The afternoon holds at 6ft, with energy 396, still onshore.
Wednesday, July 29th, brings a 12-second groundswell from the NW, 4ft, with energy at 449. That’s a long period, so the waves will have some punch, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’ll be messy. That long period won’t work well at the beach break.
Friday, August 1st, has glassy conditions in the morning with 3ft from the NW, a 10-second period, and energy of 117. Small and clean, but not exciting.
The best call is Tuesday, July 28th, early. The swell is up, the energy is strong, and the wind is manageable. Crowds are possible at Zurriola, so you won’t be alone.
Rusty.

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.
