The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s on offer for our local stretch.
Alright, it’s going to be a tough start. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves. We’ve got a long, dry gap from now until the morning of September 6th where there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is just too weak and the conditions are messy.
Things finally start to look interesting on the morning of Sunday the 6th. The reef at Mutriku picks up a clean 4ft swell from the NW with a long 12 second period. The wind is glassy, with just a slight air from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. That 12-second period means longer gaps between sets, but the shape should be good. The combined energy of all swells here is a moderate 452. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 74°F, with an anomaly of 4°F.
The standout session is hands down the morning of September 6th. It’s the first real, clean window of surf we’ve seen. The swell is solid, the wind is glassy, and for a reef break with that NW direction, it should line up nicely. That’s the one to aim for. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a wave every minute, but when they come through, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are possible here.
The morning of Tuesday the 8th also has a window of clean surf, with a 4ft swell from the WNW and a glassy wind. The energy is a moderate 286. It’s surfable, but the earlier session on the 6th is the real catch.
Beyond that, the second week gets a bit mixed again. The morning of Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have some surfable but ordinary conditions with lumpy, short-period swell around 4ft to 5ft. The wind is glassy on those mornings, so it’ll be clean, but the 7 to 8 second period won’t do this reef any favors. It’s more of a fallback option.
So, to sum it up: hold out for the morning of September 6th. That’s your best shot. Don’t bother before that.

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.
