Surf Break: Mutriku

Mutriku in Pais Vasco is a sheltered reef break that has inconsistent surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. The best wind direction is from the south southwest with some shelter here from west winds. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest. A left hand reef. Best around low tide. Sometimes crowded. Watch out for rips and rocks.
