Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Authentic Basque village with a world-class mythical left. Tubes over an estuary sandbar. Best at mid to rising low tide — loses quality at high water. For experienced surfers.
Autumn and winter deliver the best conditions, with long powerful swells from the north.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Mundaka is rather recommended for advanced surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Mundaka comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Mundaka, you can also check conditions at Bakio, Plentzia, Meñakoz. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
