The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Mutriku over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, we’ve got a real mixed bag. The first week and a half is pretty lackluster, with a few short windows of clean surf but nothing to write home about. The real highlight is a solid pulse of swell arriving around the 10th of August, and that’s where our attention needs to be.
Mutriku (reef) is the only spot in the game. It’s a sheltered little reef break, but it’s also inconsistent, so we need the stars to align. The water is sitting at a very warm 77° – that’s 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is pretty unusual. You’ll be surfing in a bathtub.
The forecast really kicks off on Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell rolling in with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 496. The wind is dead glassy from the WNW at just 3 mph. This is the best surf of the first week, hands down. That NW swell direction is exactly what this break wants, and glassy conditions will have it lining up nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly reef, but it’s inconsistent, so patience is key. If you can get out, you’ll be rewarded.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. The next decent window doesn’t show up until the 10th of August. That Monday morning sees a 6ft NW swell (moderate combined energy of 450) with a 10-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the W at 6 mph. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The size is getting up there – over 5ft – so it’s not for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session to aim for. The conditions will be clean, and that NW swell is the magic direction for Mutriku.
The morning of the 9th of August is worth a mention too, with a 5ft NW swell and 10-second period, moderate energy at 408, and light cross-shore wind. It’s rated as marginal, but it’s a step up from the flat spell leading into it.
There’s a lot of time between the 27th and the 9th where the surf is small or the wind is ugly. The 1st of August has a little waist-high bump, but with onshore wind, it’s not worth the paddle. Just keep your eyes on that Monday the 10th – that’s the one.
Stay patient, keep the wax warm.
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.
