The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Mutriku over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is a big fat zero for surf quality according to the numbers, so we’re looking at a full blank run with no good options on the table.
First up, water temps are sitting at a very unusual 77°F — that’s a massive 9°F warmer than average for this time of year. You’ll be sweating in a spring suit if you’re out there.
It kicks off on Wednesday the 15th with nothing doing. Cross-shore wind, tiny 2ft swell from the NNW with a short period of 4 seconds — combined energy is weak (25). The whole first week is a write-off. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are glassy in the mornings but the swell is barely a ripple at 2ft to 2ft, short period junk.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are glassy again in the a.m., but the swell is a measly 1ft. It’s like a lake out there. The combined energy is in the teens to low twenties. This pattern hangs around until Monday the 20th, when we finally see a bump to 3ft combined with a 7-second period from the NNW, and the energy creeps up to 144 — still weak to moderate, but the conditions are still rated poor. Tuesday the 21st holds similar 4ft swell, but it’s cross-on wind and the quality is shot.
For the second week, around Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th, we get some glassy windows but the swell is barely there: 2ft to 3ft, still short period, still poor conditions. The energy stays low, in the 20s to 60s.
Now, the only standout in this whole miserable stretch is Saturday the 25th. The swell finally shows some life — 6ft to 6ft from the WNW and NW, with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 254 (moderate strong) and 321 (strong). But here’s the kicker: it’s accompanied by a moderate breeze from the NW at 16 mph, cross-shore. That’s gonna be choppy and messy. For a reef break like Mutriku, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing — it’s not going to be clean.
Sunday the 26th drops back to 4ft, cross-on wind, and by Monday the 27th we’re back to 3ft with glassy morning conditions but no power.
Overall, this is a classic dry spell for the area. Blank runs like this do happen, and forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing worth paddling out for at Mutriku.
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.
