The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but patience will pay off. The water is sitting at a warm 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first real shout comes on Sunday, 30 August at Mutriku (reef). Sunday morning is looking glassy with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph and a clean 5 ft NW swell pushing in with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 365, and the waves are surfable, but honestly, it’s nothing to write home about. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so get your session in early.
Monday, 31 August is a step up. Morning glass again with a WNW breeze at 3 mph, and the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NW, period still a solid 10 seconds. The energy jumps to 546 (moderate), and the conditions are good. This is a solid, clean morning session. The afternoon turns cross-on, so it’s a morning-only deal.
The standout window is Saturday, 5 September. That’s the one. Saturday morning brings a glassy dawn with a light easterly at 3 mph, and a beautiful 7 ft NW groundswell with a very long period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1558. This is a proper pulse. The swell direction is right on the optimum for this break, and with that period it’ll have plenty of push and shape. This is expert-level size though – over 8 ft by the afternoon, so only for the experienced crew. The morning is the pick. Saturday afternoon picks up a bit of onshore wind, but the morning is pure gold.
The second week tails off quickly. There’s a few tiny, weak swells with periods under 10 seconds and minimal energy, mostly under 100. Winds are all over the place, with some glassy mornings but no real power behind the waves. A couple of mornings around 8-9 September have some period but tiny height, and the wind is either calm or howling from the WNW at 16 mph, which is a cross-chop mess. Not worth paddling out for.
Overall, the best bet is Saturday, 5 September at Mutriku. Get on it early for the glass and the big, long-period NW groundswell. It’s a rare, inconsistent spot, so when it fires, it’s worth the wait. The rest of the run is pretty quiet.
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.
