The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is pretty grim. From Saturday the 1st all the way through to Saturday the 8th, there’s a big dry spell. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the surface messy and bumpy. There’s a couple of glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 4th and Friday the 7th, but the waves are so small it’s barely worth strapping in. The water is noticeably warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 76°F, which is about 5°F above average. Nice for a swim, not so much for a surf.
The one day that really stands out, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Sunday the 9th of August. Zurriola hondartza (Spain) is finally going to wake up. Early morning, we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy – dead calm – and the combined energy of all swells is 254 (moderate). That’s the best energy of the whole period. It’s clean, it’s consistent, and it’s an intermediate-friendly wave. The crowds are a “sometimes” thing, so get in early if you want a few clean ones. That’s your best bet.
The rest of the second week is a bit of a letdown. Monday the 10th morning is glassy again with a 3ft NW swell, but the energy is lower (117) and it’s just “surfable but ordinary.” After that, the swell fades and the onshore winds return. By Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, the swell picks up to 3ft and 4ft, but it’s short-period NNW windswell with onshore winds – not the clean, lined-up waves we want.
So, look: if you’ve got Sunday the 9th free, that’s your day. The rest of the window is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.
