The Lowdown
Alright, let's do this in feet and miles per hour.
First off, Zurriola hondartza is going through a rough stretch. The first ten days or so are a total bust. From Saturday the 18th through Monday the 27th, it's all poor surf conditions—tiny waves, messy winds, not worth a look. A solid week-plus of nothing.
Then Tuesday the 28th shows a flicker of life—marginal, tricky tide, but at least there's some swell. Still not great. The real standout is Wednesday the 29th morning. Glassy conditions, wind from the north at 3 mph, and a solid 5–6ft of NW groundswell with 11-second periods. That's 663 units of energy—proper juice—and it's coming from the right direction. The waves will be clean and lined up, perfect for an intermediate session. The long period means it'll be a proper groundswell, but at a beach break it might run a bit straight. Still, the glassy wind will make it sweet. Crowds are possible, so get there early.
Thursday the 30th morning is another decent option—3–4ft of NW swell, 10 seconds, glassy again. Clean but smaller, with 236 units of energy. Good if you missed Wednesday. After that, it's back to poor surf. So if you're after a session, Wednesday the 29th morning is the one to aim for.
