The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story, different numbers. Gonna be a quiet couple of weeks.
We’ve got a long, slow patch ahead. The first week is a total no-go. Water temp is about 76°F, which is much toastier than normal for the season. Nice for a dip, but no good for the surf.
From Sunday, August 2nd, through Monday, August 10th, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with tiny, weak energy. You’re looking at small, crumbly waves with awful short-period wind chop. Not worth the wetsuit.
We get a tiny little lifeline on the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. The wind goes glassy out of the NNE. The swell is a measly 2ft from the NW, with a short 7-second period, but at least the description flips to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". Energy is still weak. It’s the first time it's worth even looking at. The same kind of small, glassy, but gutless offering shows up again on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, with 3ft swell from the NNW (6-second period). If you are desperate, those two glassy mornings are your best bets, but you'll need a log.
After that, it drops back to nothing. The whole second week fades into tiny dribblers and bad wind.
For the whole 16-day run, Tuesday, August 11th morning is the standout. It’s glassy, it’s knee to waist high, and that’s as exciting as it gets.
Zurriola is a fairly consistent spot so blank runs like this aren't the norm. Forecasts can always change and bring something better.
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.
