The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've looked at the charts for the Mutriku area, and I've got to be honest – the next 16 days are a bit of a write-off for any decent surf. There's absolutely nothing in the recommendations that's worth paddling out for. The whole stretch from the 31st of July right through to the 15th of August is one big, flat gap of poor surf conditions. It's one of those runs where the ocean just isn't cooperating.
The only spot on the radar is Mutriku, a reef setup that's sheltered and thrives on a NW swell. It's inconsistent at the best of times, which is a shame because the water temperature is sitting at a very warm 75.6°, a full 5.0° warmer than usual for this time of year. But that's where the good news ends.
There's a little pulse of energy around the 1st of August, with a combined swell energy of (75) kicking up a 2.3ft NW swell. A few mornings have glassy conditions, like the 1st and 2nd of August, and the 9th of August. But the wave comment is always "poor surf conditions," and the swell height is tiny, the period is short, and it never gets above a 2.6ft. The swell energy is just too weak – all those two-digit numbers (34, 41, 75, 36) are telling us there's no power behind it.
Later in the run, around the 11th of August, the period stretches out to 11 seconds, which is significant, but we're still looking at a 1.3ft NW swell with a weak energy of (51). It's a groundswell with a bit of length, but there's no size to work with. The wind is messy, mostly cross-onshore, and the waves are too small and weak to even hold your interest. The 15th of August is the last day in the window, and it's a 1.6ft NW swell with a moderate breeze making it choppy. Look, when the setup is this small and the quality is consistently poor, it's more of a kitesurfing scene than a paddle surf one. Keep your board waxed, but don't expect to get wet. The forecasts can change, but for now, there's nothing to chase.

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.
