The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let me walk you through what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks here at Mutriku. This is a reef setup, sheltered from the main swell action, so it needs a bit of magic to line up. Right now, we’re in a pretty flat spell, and unfortunately, it’s going to stay that way for a good while.
The coming days are looking grim, to be honest. From Wednesday the 5th right through to the morning of Monday the 11th, it’s basically a write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak waves with poor surf conditions. The swell energy is negligible, sitting at just 48 in the early bits, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, messing up any chance of a clean face. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 75°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – a real anomaly.
Then, on the morning of Tuesday the 11th, we get a little flicker of hope. The wind goes glassy, and we get a small 3 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy picks up to 166, which is getting into moderate territory. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s a session for the keen, but not a standout.
The real story, however, is the run-up to Tuesday the 18th. By the morning of the 18th, we’re looking at a 6 ft NW swell with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 685 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is onshore from the NNE, but it’s light. This is the best window in the whole 16-day outlook. Given the size, it’s going to be a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this could be a proper session. The afternoon of the 18th still has a 5 ft NW swell with energy at 415, and lighter cross-on winds. Keep in mind, this is a week and a half out, so a bit of a gamble, but it’s the only real pulse on the horizon.
After that, it fades away again. The 19th and 20th are back to small, messy, and poor. So, if you can hold out, aim for the 18th morning at Mutriku. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got.

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.
