The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the 16-day picture for Mutriku, in feet and Fahrenheit.
The first week is a bare patch. From Tuesday 4 August through Monday 11 August, the waves are mostly tiny and junk. Swell runs 1ft to 3ft from the WNW and NW, with periods all over from 5 to 10 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it messy. A couple of glassy mornings pop up on Tuesday 4th and Friday 7th, but the swell is only 1ft and 2ft – not enough grunt. The combined swell energy is weak (31 to 146). There’s a solid 9-day stretch at the start with no real surf worth paddling for.
The first hint of something better comes Tuesday 11 August morning. Glassy conditions, a 3ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and combined energy of 162 (moderate). It’s still just “surfable but ordinary,” so don’t get too excited, but the water temp is way warmer than usual at 76°, nearly 5 degrees above normal.
Tuesday 18 August morning is the real standout in the outlook, even though it’s over two weeks off. A 4ft NW swell with an 11-second period, right in the optimum direction for this reef break. The combined energy hits 501 (strong to very strong). The wind is light cross-shore from the WNW – not perfect, but workable. Mutriku is inconsistent and rarely fires, so a swell like this is a big deal. The caveat is marginal tide conditions, but the power and direction are solid.
Wednesday 19 August morning is also worth a mention – glassy, 3ft NW swell, 10-second period, and energy at 173 (moderate). A good secondary option if the tide lines up.
So, a long quiet spell early on, but that late push around 18-19 August is where you want to focus. Be patient.
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.
