The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the surf for Zurriola hondartza over the next sixteen days. Honest truth? It’s a pretty flat run for a long stretch, but there’s a little glimmer of hope way out in the second week.
Right now, through the middle of July and well into the third week, it’s a real struggle. We’ve got days and days of tiny, weak waves—mostly under 3ft—with cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. The combined energy is barely registering, often under 70 (weak energy). There’s a few glassy moments on the 14th, 19th, and 20th mornings, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. You’re looking at a solid gap of nearly two weeks with no real surf on offer.
The first real standout shows up on Monday the 28th of July. Early morning, the wind goes glassy—dead calm—and a solid NW groundswell pushes in at 5ft with a 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 326 (moderate wave energy), and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your best window. The swell direction from the NW is a perfect match for what this spot likes. It’s a beach break, so with a bit of period, it should offer some clean, fun waves. The water is a remarkable 77°F—that’s 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s properly unseasonably warm. Die-hards who can wait will be rewarded with a glassy morning session. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have some company.
The afternoon on the 28th turns onshore, so the morning is the call. The 27th also has a bit of size (3ft to 3ft), but it’s cross-on and messy, so it’s not the one.
For the first two weeks, don’t bother paddling out unless you just want a float. The 26th shows a touch of size (4ft to 4ft) and a solid 470 combined energy, but it’s cross-on and only rated marginal. A long-period 11-second swell like that tends to break straight on a beach, so it’s not the best setup.
Hang tight, wait for that Monday the 28th morning glass-off, and you’ll get a wave. Until then, keep the board in the bag.
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. 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.
