The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the coming weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. The water is sitting at a balmy 75°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit, but the surf is not playing ball.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile at the start. From Tuesday, August 4th right through until the morning of Tuesday, August 12th, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the period is short, so there’s just no grunt to work with. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (44-116 range) for most of that time, meaning the ocean is flat and unenthusiastic.

Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. Mutriku is a reef break that’s inconsistent and sheltered, so it needs the right conditions. The morning session shows a 3ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. This is a major positive. The combined energy hits 177 (moderate), which is the best we’ve seen. The waves are described as “surfable but very ordinary,” so it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the only game in town. The direction from the NW is a good match for the break’s optimum. If you’re a beginner, this 3ft is fine, but remember it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets.

After that brief moment, we slide back into poor conditions. The swell drops again, the wind turns cross-on, and the combined energy dips back under 100. The rest of the week (August 13th to 15th) is a write-off – tiny swell and messy side-shore breezes.

The next potential highlight is on Saturday, August 16th. The morning of the 16th shows glassy conditions with a 2ft swell from the NW, period of 9 seconds, and combined energy of 128 (moderate). It’s a clean, small wave setup. The NE wind is offshore for Mutriku, which is exactly what we want. It’s again “poor surf conditions” in the data, but with glassy offshore wind and a bit of energy, it’ll be the most user-friendly wave of the whole run. This is your best bet if you want a clean, small wave session.

Later in the second week, on Monday, August 18th, the morning shows another glassy window with a 3ft, short-period (6 seconds) NNW swell. The combined energy is weak at 62, so it’s a dribbler, but it’s clean. For the experienced surfer, the longer period swells (10-11 seconds) on August 9th and 11th actually had more size (3ft) and combined energy (214), but the wind was cross or onshore, ruining the shape. For a reef like Mutriku, a clean, small day is still a good day.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning, August 12th, for the first clean, glassy surf with the best energy. The second standout is Sunday morning, August 16th, for another clean, glassy session with a bit more size. Both are small, but that’s the best we’ve got.

Rusty out.

Information about the Mutriku Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Mutriku provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mutriku can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mutriku 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 (Mutriku) 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 Mutriku 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.

Mutriku is 16 km (10 miles) from Eibar. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eibar. Eibar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
