The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Mutriku. This is a tricky little reef break that needs the stars to align, and honestly, it’s a quiet window we’re looking at. The setup is sheltered, and the optimum swell direction is NW, so when it hits, it can be a gem. But this forecast is a long stretch of waiting.

The only real standout comes right at the start. Sunday morning, September 6th, we’ve got a solid 5 ft NW swell rolling in with a period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, full of energy—the combined energy reading is 666 (moderate). The wind is glassy, calm, and the water is about average for this time of year. This is a reef break, so that long 12-second period will draw nicely into the lineup, offering clean, well-shaped waves. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions," and that’s the spark we’ve been waiting for. It’s rated as a beginner spot, but with the swell a touch over 5 ft, it’s got a bit of push for the more confident surfer. It’s inconsistent, so you’ll wait for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are sometimes possible, but with the window being so narrow, you might get lucky.

After that, it’s a long, flat, and boring stretch. From Sunday afternoon, the energy drops and the winds turn cross-on or onshore. Monday morning, September 7th, is glassy but only 3 ft of NW swell at 9 seconds—just not enough juice. The combined energy is 320. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Tuesday morning, September 8th, is the same story: 3 ft, glassy, but the energy is down to 180. It’s a flat spell.

We then hit a nasty patch. Wednesday, September 9th, sees a big jump in swell to 10 ft NW, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the wind is cross-on at 25 km/h. The combined energy is 1078 (strong), but the quality is poor. That’s a messy, choppy, un-rideable mess—only for the most committed, and even then, it’s not pretty. Over 8 ft is expert-only territory, and with that wind, it’s a write-off.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is a desert. Thursday, September 10th, through to the end of the forecast on September 21st, is a mix of surfable but very ordinary conditions, or just poor surf. The swell hangs around the 2 ft to 4 ft mark, mostly from the NW, but the periods are short and the wind is never cooperating. The combined energy sits between 83 (weak) and 459 (moderate). There are a few glassy mornings—like Saturday, September 19th, with 4 ft NW at 10 seconds and 304 energy—but the wave comment says "surfable but very ordinary." It’s just not enough to get excited about.

So, the bottom line: Sunday morning, September 6th, is your one real shot. Get out there early, enjoy the clean 5 ft NW groundswell, and then accept that the forecast is pretty quiet after that. It’s a blank run for a surf-starved stretch.

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.
