The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what we've got for Mutriku. It's a pretty frustrating outlook, I gotta say.
Right, straight up, there’s not a single standout session in the whole 16 days for Mutriku. We're looking at a long, quiet run here. The first record is for Saturday the 8th of August, and it’s already a non-starter. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75°.
The pattern is tiny, gutless swell and one poor surf condition call after another. We’ve got a stretch from the 9th of August right through to the 22nd of August where the swell just hangs around 1.0 ft to 4 ft. The combined wave energy is weak for most of that, barely cracking triple digits. For example, on Wednesday morning the 20th, it’s glassy, but with only 2 ft of swell and energy at 53, there’s nothing to ride. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, which just messes with what little shape there is.
Things try to change on the 23rd of August, but it’s not the kind of change we want. The swell jumps up to 8 ft on Sunday morning and 10 ft by the afternoon, with energy skyrocketing to 781 and then 1112. That’s serious power, but the wind is a consistent cross-on breeze at 9 mph from the NW, which will chop it right up. That size is expert-only territory, and with that messy wind, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
To be honest, there are no good surf options for Mutriku in this 16-day window. The breaks here are inconsistent at the best of times, so this kind of blank run isn't a huge surprise. Forecasts can always change, but on what we’re seeing, it’s a tough go.
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.
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.
