The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for our stretch of coast. It’s a bit of a slow burner this forecast period, so don’t expect fireworks straight away. We’ve got a lot of small, junky surf and some tricky winds before things clean up and get properly juicy.
Right now, for the next few days, it’s pretty flat and messy. Monday the 7th has a touch of tiny 2ft swell, but it’s pretty ordinary. The water is a balmy 74°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – you might not even need a springsuit, just a smile. But the surf just isn't there yet. We’ll see a small lift on Wednesday the 9th to 6ft, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s raining, so it’s not going to be fun. That stretch from the 7th to the 12th is a write-off for a decent wave.
Now, hold on to your leashes, because things start to wake up on Sunday the 13th. We’ve got a proper pulse of groundswell filling in, with 5ft of west-northwest swell at 13 seconds. That long period means real energy, and the combined energy reading is a strong 834 – you’re going to feel that in your chest paddling out. The morning looks glassy with a light east-northeast breeze, so it’s going to be clean. This is the standout period. The swell hangs around through Monday the 14th too, with 4ft at 12 seconds and light offshore winds. The wave direction is ideal for the reef here. Keep your eyes peeled for the 16th as well, as we see another similar pulse of 5ft at 13 seconds, again with clean morning conditions.
Looking further out, the second week has a few promising pulses. The 19th sees another decent 5-6ft swell, but the winds are more cross-shore, making it a bit trickier. The real gold is saving itself for Tuesday the 22nd. We’ve got 4ft of swell, light winds, and that glassy morning surface, giving us one last classic session. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the day off work just yet, but it’s one to keep an eye on.
So, the pick of the bunch is clearly the Sunday morning and Monday morning sessions on the 13th and 14th. The swell is solid, the period is long, and the winds are right. Just remember, this is an inconsistent reef set-up, so you might have to wait for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. If it gets too big (over 8ft) and messy, it might be more for the experts, but this size looks good for everyone.
Alright, I’m out. Get on it while it’s clean.
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.
