The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating period ahead for Mutriku. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely anything ridable, so don’t get your hopes up for any fireworks. The only real standout—and I use that word loosely—might be right near the end.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of NW swell around 3ft on Thursday the 30th of July, but the wind is cross-on and messy, combined energy is weak (86), and wave quality is poor. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 5° warmer than average—that’s a nice surprise for the skin.
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August are tiny, with waves around 2ft to 2ft. There are some glassy moments early in the mornings, which is a positive, but the swell just doesn’t have any punch – combined energy is well under 100 across the board. It’s a tough call to paddle out on these scraps.
From Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, it’s a real drought. Swell heights barely top 1ft most days, period is short, and combined energy drops into the teens or single digits. You get occasional glassy conditions, but there is simply no wave to ride. That’s a long, quiet spell.
Then around Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August, we see a small pulse of NW and NNW swell bumping up to about 3ft to 3ft. The period is very short at only 4 to 6 seconds, so it will be weak and crumbly, not the kind of wave that holds shape. Combined energy only reaches 55 to 56, so still weak. Winds are cross to cross-on, nothing clean enough to turn this into something special. Not one for the highlights reel.
By Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of August it fades away again. The Friday morning on the 14th has a glassy window with 2ft NW swell, period 6 seconds, and combined energy just 20 – it’s a lake.
The best on offer? That ends up being a toss-up, but I’d give the nod to the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. It’s still tiny at 2ft from the NW, but you get glassy conditions and the swell direction matches the optimum for Mutriku (NW). It’s a reef break (Mutriku, Spain – It’s in the ocean, but this is a sheltered reef spot). The consistency is listed as *inconsistent*, so don’t expect a set every few minutes. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue, so you might have company. It’s only for beginners on a small day like this, so don’t expect barrels. The Friday morning the 14th is a similar call but with even less energy.
That’s the story. A long, lean couple of weeks. Fingers crossed the models shift.
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.
