Zurriola hondartza Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Zurriola hondartza has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a bit of a slow start. The first real highlight comes early on Saturday the 4th of July. Saturday morning is where it’s at. The water is a whopping 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a proper treat. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW groundswell rolling in with a long 10-second period and the wind is glassy, coming from the NNW. The energy is moderate at 220 and conditions will be clean. This is the standout window for the near term, no question.

After that, things drop right off. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the end of the week, it’s pretty flat and ordinary. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is on it or cross-onshore most of the time. There’s a few glassy mornings on the 9th and 10th with some surfable but very ordinary 2ft waves, but nothing to get excited about.

Then we hit the second week, and there’s a pulse of energy around Sunday the 12th into Monday the 13th. Swell heights bump up to 6ft to 6ft from the WNW with moderate to strong energy (combined energy around 500-620). But here’s the catch – the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s going to be messy. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing those days, to be honest.

The next real chance for a decent paddle comes on Tuesday the 14th morning. Glassy conditions again with a 5ft WNW swell, period around 8 seconds. Energy is moderate at 258. It’s a much cleaner option than the days before it, but still not as good as that Saturday morning earlier.

After that, the last few days of the forecast window are weak, with small swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Nothing worth planning around.

So bottom line: your best bet is Saturday the 4th of July morning at Zurriola hondartza. Glassy, clean, fun-sized swell, and warm water. That’s the one to circle. The rest of the run is mostly a write-off, with a few messy, choppy days for the brave or the kite crew.

Rusty.
