The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. Rusty here, checking in on what’s going on with the local lineup.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch of days for Mutriku, a sheltered little reef setup that needs a clean window. The forecast is pretty flat and disappointing for the first week. There's a long gap of nothing worth your time from the start all the way through to the morning of Sunday, August 9th. That’s over a week of no real surf options. The swell is tiny, with waves below 3ft, weak energy readings (mostly under 100), and the winds are nearly always cross or onshore. It’s just not doing anything.
Then, on the morning of Sunday, August 9th, we finally get a pulse. The swell picks up to 5ft from the WNW, with a 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 254 (moderate energy), which is the most push we’ve seen all forecast. The real kicker? The wind is glassy, dead calm. For a reef break like Mutriku, that glassy morning is the jackpot. The water temp is sitting at 76°F, which is 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – noticeably warm, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The swell is clean, the wave height is fun for most skill levels, but remember, Mutriku is an inconsistent spot and it's sheltered, so it needs every bit of that NW swell to wrap in. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so expect a few others with the same idea. That morning is easily the standout of the whole 16-day window. The afternoon on the same day drops to 4ft and turns onshore, so the window is small.
After that, we go back into a slump. The rest of the second week is small again, with most days delivering 2ft to 3ft, weak energy, and mostly glassy mornings but with very little wave power. The morning of Sunday, August 16th shows a little more energy (139) with 2ft NW swell and glassy conditions, but it’s not moving the needle compared to the 9th. It’s a long range promise, but less certain.
Overall, your best bet is Sunday morning, August 9th. Get there early, milk that glassy reef, and enjoy the warm water. Other than that, it’s pretty quiet.

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.
