The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Zurriola hondartza.
Right now, the surf is pretty quiet and stays that way for a while. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until early Monday, August 17th. Before that, most days have tiny waves – 1 to 3 ft at best – with weak energy readings (126, 119, sometimes as low as 14). The wind is often glassy in the mornings, but there’s just no swell to work with. Most of it is short-period wind swell, 5 to 8 seconds. The water is about average temperature for this time of year.
The one morning I’d point you to is Monday, August 17th. That morning brings a 5 ft WNW swell with a 7-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the N at 3 mph. The combined energy hits 210 – not massive, but solid. It’s clean. The period is a bit short, so don’t expect long rides, but it’s the best looking window in the whole outlook. That size is a little much for beginners but fine for intermediates.
By the afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and the swell bumps to 6 ft, getting choppy. Then Tuesday morning, August 18th, pushes up to 8 ft WNW (energy 888) with a light cross-on breeze and 9-second period – that’s expert-only size, and the conditions are marginal, so it’s a gamble.
After the 18th, it drops back to small, weak surf for the rest of the period.
So, save your energy for Monday morning, August 17th at Zurriola hondartza. That’s the one.
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.
