Alright, friends, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, I won't lie to you. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before a bit of life shows up in the second week. Let's get into it.
Right now, and for the next several days, it's all pretty flat and messy at Zurriola hondartza. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 75°, which is a big anomaly – very unusual. But that's where the good news ends for now. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is nearly always cross-onshore or onshore, just chopping everything up. There's very little energy in the water, and honestly, it's poor surf conditions day after day. We have a gap of about 12 days here with no real surf to get excited about. Don't bother paddling out.
Now, things get a bit more interesting around Saturday the 18th of July. We finally see a pulse of proper swell. The Saturday morning brings in a 4 ft swell from the NW with a solid 11-second period, and the energy jumps right up. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE, which is okay. It’s still only a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while. Saturday afternoon pushes up a bit more, with 5 ft from the NW and even more energy, but the wind swings more cross-onshore which will mess with the face a bit. Not perfect, but for this stretch it's the standout. This is likely to be the pick of the fortnight, but keep your expectations in check – it’s not perfect, just the best of a tricky run. The morning on Saturday 18th is the time to be in the water if you're itching.
Sunday the 19th morning might still be worth a look with a 4 ft NW swell and 10-second period, but the rain showers and cross-onshore wind will make it messy. After that, it fades again into the ordinary.
So, the bottom line is this: don't expect much for the first week and a half. Hang tight. The only real chance for a wave comes on Saturday the 18th of July and maybe into Sunday morning if you're desperate. It's not a firing swell, but it's something to get wet on.
