The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mutriku.
It’s a tough stretch ahead, I’ve gotta be straight with you. The forecast shows a solid 16-day window, but the first real surfable session is a long way off. We’re looking at a big gap of quiet conditions that runs right through the start of the month. The first day with any kind of recommendation isn't until Thursday, August 6th, and even then, it’s a real struggle to get excited about it.
The water is currently running at a very unusual 76°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real surprise, but it’s not going to help the waves.
Let’s talk about the one spot we’ve got: Mutriku. It’s a sheltered reef break that needs a clean NW swell, and it’s inconsistent, meaning it’s a gamble even when conditions look good. The best of a pretty average bunch looks like it’ll be on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning session is looking glassy, with a light NE wind, and a 0.6m, 10-second NW groundswell pushing in. That's about 2ft. The combined energy will be a solid 137 (moderate), which is about as good as it gets. The afternoon sees a bump to 1.1m (about 4ft) with the same NW direction, and the energy jumps to 229 (moderate), but the wind will be onshore, making it a bit bumpy. The morning is the pick of the day.
The other days? There’s a bit of ankle-to-knee high stuff with short periods, mostly around 5-8 seconds, and the wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, making for crumbly, poor quality surf. Even when the swell is a bit bigger, like on Thursday, August 6th with a 1.0m (3ft) NW swell, the short 8-second period and onshore wind ruin it.
For a real standout, I’d point to the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. The 0.6m (2ft), 10-second groundswell will be offshore and glassy, and the energy is moderate. Because it’s a reef, the longer period should give it a bit of shape. Just remember, it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets. Crowds are possible here, but given the lack of quality, it might be quiet.
Honestly, for the rest of the window, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast update. This is a lean run for Mutriku.
Rusty.

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.
