The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the rundown on the San Sebastián surf.
It’s a slow start. Water temp at Zurriola hondartza is 77°F, which is over six degrees warmer than normal. That’s unusual.
Saturday the 25th is a write-off. Stormy, 25 km/h cross-onshore wind, 7ft swell from the WNW at 7 seconds. That’s too much for beginners and messy. Energy is moderate at 389.
Sunday the 26th is similar but smaller, 5ft dropping to 4ft, still cross-onshore and choppy.
Monday the 27th morning shows some hope: 3ft swell, 11-second period, energy at 309, wind light. It’s marginal but offers a window.
Tuesday the 28th morning is the first real standout. Wind goes cross-offshore from the ESE at 5 km/h. Swell is 4ft from the NW at 10 seconds, energy at 362. Clean, punchy, and good shape. Crowds can be an issue though.
Wednesday the 29th morning turns glassy, zero wind, 4ft swell at 9 seconds, energy 216. Smooth and fun.
Then it fades. Thursday and Friday the swell drops under 3ft, energy in the 60s and 80s. Wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. Not much happening.
The 1st and 2nd of August stay tiny. Saturday afternoon shows a 3ft swell at 11 seconds with 187 energy, but it’s cross-onshore.
Then Monday the 3rd of August delivers. Glassy, no wind, 5ft NW swell at 11 seconds, energy 629. That’s the big one. Clean and powerful. This is your best bet for the whole period.
After that it drops off again. Small swells, short periods, onshore winds. The 9th of August bumps to 5ft with 244 energy, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NW. Not quite enough.
So the picks are Tuesday the 28th morning and Monday the 3rd of August morning. The 3rd is the best. Everything else is small or windblown.
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. Our Zurriola hondartza surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Zurriola hondartza) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
