The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with the call for Mutriku. We’ve got some clean glass windows coming, but you have to work around the junk. The first surf that matters is Friday morning, August 28. Swell from the NW at 5ft, period 8 seconds, with combined energy at 265 – moderate. It’s surfable but nothing special, with a light offshores from the SW at 9 mph keeping it clean enough. Friday afternoon is garbage with cross-onshore.
Now, Saturday the 29th morning is the standout early call. Swell 6ft from the WNW, 9-second period, combined energy up to 450 (moderate), but the story is glass – dead calm, no wind. That’ll be clean, groomed faces. Beginner-friendly, since it’s under 5ft. That morning is the best of the first week.
Sunday the 30th morning, another glassy start. Swell 5ft from the NW, period stretching to 11 seconds (groundswell), combined energy at 538. The longer interval means the reef at Mutriku will shape those waves up nicely, but expect longer waits between sets. Afternoons both days get cross-onshore and messy, so it’s all about the early session.
Then we hit a dead zone from Monday the 31st through Thursday, September 3rd. Swell drops to 2ft or less, combined energy goes weak into the double digits. This is a multi-day gap with nothing. Friday, September 4th is also a wash.
The next real wave is Saturday, September 5th morning – over a week out, but it looks promising. Swell 4ft from the NW with a long period of 14 seconds (a proper groundswell), combined energy at 648 – getting strong. Glassy again. The reef will handle that long period nicely. Afternoon jumps to 5ft but gets questionable with onshore wind. That morning is the second standout.
Sunday the 6th morning is smaller, 4ft, period still solid at 12 seconds, but light cross-onshore wind will put a few ripples on it. The rest of the second week is small or merely ‘surfable.’ The clear best on offer are Saturday the 29th morning and Saturday, September 5th morning.
Mutriku is a reef break, so it can be a bit inconsistent. When the swell is NW, it’s lined up. Crowds are possible – you might see a few others out, especially on the good days. For now, set your alarm for those two Saturday mornings.
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.
