The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking for the Mutriku region over the next couple of weeks. The water’s running at 73°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home for a bit.
First up, Sunday the 13th is where it starts. We’ve got a solid NW groundswell pushing in at 4ft with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a nice long period, proper juice behind it (combined energy of 540). The wind is glassy, light ESE, which for a reef setup is absolute magic. The only hitch is that Mutriku is an inconsistent little reef, and the optimum swell direction is from the NW, so this is bang on. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but because it’s inconsistent, don’t expect a wave every minute. Still, if you score a set, it’ll be clean and make the paddle out nice and easy. Crowds are possible here, but on a Sunday with glassy conditions? Get on it early.
Monday morning the 14th is smaller, 4ft NW at 12 seconds, still glassy but the energy is dropping (335). It’s surfable but nothing special. The rest of that week into Thursday the 17th gets messy with cross-onshore winds and building chop. There’s a pulse of swell on Thursday morning hitting 6ft NW (659 energy), but the wind is light cross-onshore from the NNW. It’s marginal, not a write-off for a local who knows the place, but it’s not what we’d call clean.
Then we get to the real standout. Saturday the 19th. Clear skies, dead calm, glassy conditions with a SE wind of just 3 mph. Swell jumps to 7ft from the NW, period 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is 1682. That is strong wave energy. Now, 7ft is getting a bit big for beginners; you’ll want to have your wits about you. For an inconsistent reef, this is going to be a special day if the sets line up. The wind is perfect, the direction is perfect, and the water is still unseasonably warm. This is the pick of the window, hands down.
Sunday the 20th drops off a bit, 5ft NW at 12 seconds, but wind goes cross-shore, so it’s not as clean.
Then Monday the 21st morning delivers another gem. Clear, glassy SSW wind at 3 mph, and a solid 6ft NW groundswell at 13 seconds, combined energy of 1003. That’s strong, clean, and the offshore component from the SSW is ideal for Mutriku. Another one for the diary, though a bit smaller than Saturday.
After that, the surf tapers off through the week. Tuesday the 22nd is cross-shore wind and smaller. By the end of the week into the 24th and 25th, the swell is down to under 3ft, with poor conditions or ordinary surf. There’s a long gap of nothing recommended from the 26th through the 28th, with tiny swell, weak energy down to 26, and mostly poor conditions. It’s a flat spell for Mutriku.
So, to wrap it up: Saturday the 19th is the absolute stand-out – big, clean, glassy, and warm. Monday the 21st is the backup. Everything else is either ordinary or not worth paddling out for. Keep an eye on that Saturday, and if you can, call in sick.
Rusty out.

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.
