The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s shaping up for Mutriku over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some swell around, but the wind and conditions just aren’t playing ball. It’s not until Saturday the 19th that things finally turn on. That morning is the clear standout for this whole run.
Saturday the 19th – get on it. Early doors, we’ve got a 7ft NW swell rolling in with a 13-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the ESE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is solid at (1657), so there’s proper push behind those waves. This is the best session on offer – clean, lined-up, and with that long period NW groundswell, this reef break should be firing. Keep in mind, it’s an inconsistent spot, so you might have to wait a bit between sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get there early.
Sunday the 20th morning is still good, though a step down. We’ve got 4ft NW swell, again glassy conditions with an ENE breeze at 3 mph. Energy drops to (441), but it’s still surfable and clean.
Then we get another big window on Monday the 21st. Morning session is glassy – dead calm, zero wind – with a 6ft NW swell at a very long 14-second period. The energy is back up to (1228). That long period groundswell will really wrap into this reef, giving you some proper shape and power. The afternoon gets a bit blown, so hit the dawn patrol.
Tuesday the 22nd morning is also worth a mention. Glassy conditions again, 5ft NW swell at 13 seconds, energy at (898). Another clean, solid morning.
After that, it trails off quickly. From Wednesday the 23rd onward, the swell drops way down, and the conditions get messy. By the end of the month, we’re looking at tiny 1ft waves with no energy to speak of. There’s a real gap from the 23rd through to the end of the forecast – pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.
So, the takeaway? This is a two-week window with a few real gems, but a lot of flat or poor conditions in between. If you’re keen, make your moves on the 19th, 21st, and 22nd mornings. The rest is just waiting time.
Stay stoked,
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.
