The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the coming weeks.
Gotta be straight with you. The next two weeks are looking pretty flat for Mutriku. We've got a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is a write-off. From Thursday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 30th, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is weak – we're talking combined energy values mostly below 100 (a low 24 on Thursday afternoon, for instance). It's a lot of small, weak windswell with no push. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, which doesn't help. There are a few glassy mornings, like Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, but with waves only 1 ft, it's not worth paddling out for. This is a real barren stretch.
Then, things start to get interesting towards the very end of the run. On Thursday the 30th, the afternoon shows a jump in swell to 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 13 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy hits 781 – that's a solid push. The wind is cross-shore, which is okay, but it's a moderate breeze, so it'll be a bit choppy. The real standout, though, looks to be Friday the 31st. The morning session brings in a 7 ft NW swell with a 12-second period, and the energy is a hefty 1070. The wind is light onshore from the N, which isn't ideal, but that's a lot of water moving. This is a solid, expert-level wave. The afternoon drops a little to 6 ft, but still has plenty of power. The water temp is running at 76°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – so you'll be sweating in your wetsuit, or just in boardies. If you're a confident surfer, the 31st is your day, but it's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: save your energy for the final day of the month. The first two weeks are a total dud.

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.
