Alright, let’s get real about Mutriku.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook for the next couple of weeks. The swell is tiny and pretty gutless for days on end. We’re looking at a solid gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The first proper recommendation doesn’t really come together until late in the period, so you’ll be waiting a while.
The only break on offer is Mutriku itself. It’s a reef setup, sheltered and inconsistent, so don’t expect a circus. For beginners, the size through most of this is fine, but the quality just isn’t there.
Let’s run through it. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are flat and messy – swell around 2 ft from the WNW with weak energy (around 66 to 68 in the combined reading). Winds are light but mostly cross-on or onshore, so it’s not clean. No go.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th stay small, 1 ft to 2 ft, period bounces between 9 and 12 seconds. The energy is low (50 to 95). A few windows with glassy or cross-off wind look tempting on the surface, but the lack of size just kills it.
Moving through the next week, Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 16th – the swell stays tiny, under 2 ft, with periods dropping to 4 seconds on Tuesday the 14th. The combined energy plummets to 15-18 on some of those afternoons. A couple of glassy mornings on Tuesday and Wednesday the 15th might look pretty, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s basically a lake.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th still poor. Swell under 2 ft, short period, light cross-shore wind, combined energy in the 20s and 30s. Not worth the wet suit.
Now, around Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, we see a slight bump – swell up to 2 ft-3 ft, periods around 7-8 seconds. Combined energy starts creeping toward 81 on Monday the 20th afternoon. Still, the wind is moderate cross-onshore, and the “poor surf conditions” label sticks.
The best chance we get lands early on Tuesday the 22nd morning. Swell hits 3 ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, and combined energy reaches 103 – that’s moderate energy at last. The wind is onshore from the north at 12 mph, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best-looking day in the whole run. This is for experienced surfers only, though. Beginners should sit it out.
The swell direction is WNW, which isn’t a perfect match for Mutriku’s optimum NW direction, but it’s close enough to get some waves wrapping in. Crowds are possible here – it’s “sometimes” crowded, so you might have company.
Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th hold similar size around 3 ft-3 ft, but the wind stays cross-onshore and the energy drops back to 40-102. Nothing special.
The standout in this bleak forecast is clearly Tuesday the 22nd morning. It’s the only time the combined energy breaks into triple digits. Everything else is weak, small, and poorly aligned. Water temps are running much warmer than normal at 76°F with a 8°F anomaly – that’s very unusual for here, a real talking point.
So, Mutriku, you wait until the 22nd of July for a mediocre window. It’s not firing, but it’s the best you’ll get in this 16-day stretch. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this spot is inconsistent, and a blank run like this isn’t out of the ordinary.

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.
