The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s looking good for the home break.

We’re staring down a pretty flat and frustrating first week, no two ways about it. For the first several days the swell is tiny and the conditions are poor. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, you’re looking at waves barely scraping 1ft with messy wind, so don’t even bother. There’s a solid gap of rubbish surf right through the week, with only a few fleeting moments on the 21st and 23rd where it becomes “surfable” but still very ordinary – not worth paddling out for.

It really brightens up come Monday the 27th of July though. That’s when the waiting pays off. The morning has glassy conditions, a nice clean 4ft swell from the NW with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy is strong at 355. This is the first genuine standout, and it’s a beauty for an intermediate session at Zurriola hondartza. The water is a very unusual 77° right now, more than 5° warmer than average for the time of year, so you’ll likely be in boardshorts.

The real highlight though, the absolute best on offer, lands Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st. Thursday morning is glassy again, with 4ft of NNW swell, period at 10 seconds, and energy of 316 – that’s proper, clean surf. Friday the 31st is even better: the morning has 5ft from the NNW at 9 seconds, but it’s the afternoon that steals the show. You’ve got 5ft from the NW, 10-second period, glassy wind from the north, and the energy jumps right up to 580. Expect very good surf conditions. This is the session to mark in the calendar.

Into Saturday the 1st of August, the morning looks magic. Calm glass, 5ft from the NW, 10-second period, energy of 549 – that is a properly fun size with clean conditions for intermediate surfers. This is another standout. Sunday the 2nd is also decent in the morning with around 4ft and glassy conditions, but the crowd factor sometimes kicks in at Zurriola, so get in early.

So the plan is simple: suffer through the first week, then from the 27th onward there’s good stuff, with the absolute top shelf being Friday the 31st afternoon and Saturday the 1st morning.

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.
