The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the local area.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell. From Friday the 31st of July all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, the breaks are pretty much asleep. The swell is tiny, and the energy is weak. You’ll see combined swell energy values in the teens, twenties, and thirties, which is barely a ripple. The water is a warm 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like a bath, but there’s just no push to it. A few mornings might look glassy, but with almost no swell, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Now, hang on, because things finally start looking interesting on Sunday the 9th of August. That morning, we get a pulse of new energy. The combined swell energy jumps to 450 (moderate wave energy), with a 5 ft swell from the WNW at a 9-second period. That’s a solid, clean groundswell starting to fill in. The wind is dead glassy, so it’s going to be clean, but at 5 ft, it’s no longer a beginner wave. The only spot in the game is Mutriku, a sheltered reef break that likes an incoming NW swell. The optimum direction is NW, and this is coming from the WNW, so it’s a good match. Keep in mind that Mutriku is an inconsistent spot, and it can get crowded sometimes, but on a Sunday morning with a fresh swell, it might be worth the paddle.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 10th of August. The morning session is the pick of the whole 16 days. We’ve got a 7 ft WNW swell, with a combined energy of 1019 (strong wave energy). That’s a lot of power. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period swell, which will actually punch up nicely on the reef. The wind is glassy, absolutely perfect. At 7 ft, this is getting into expert territory, definitely not for beginners. It’s going to be a powerful, challenging wave, but if you’ve got the skills, the reward will be there. The afternoon gets onshore and messy, so the morning window is everything.
After that burst, the energy drops off fast. By Tuesday the 11th, the swell is smaller and the wind goes cross-shore, making it messy. By Wednesday the 12th, we’re back to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the forecast. The second week is a real letdown after that Monday morning.
So, bottom line: the waiting game is on. The first big chance is Sunday the 9th of August, but the true standout is Monday the 10th of August at Mutriku. Get there early, enjoy the clean glass, and charge those 7 ft waves. The rest of the window is a skunk.
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.
