The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, the outlook for Mutriku (Mutriku) over this full 16-day stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a long, long dry spell ahead before anything even looks like it’s worth paddling out for.
The immediate forecast is grim. From the start of this period through to the middle of August, the wave energy is just pitiful. We're looking at combined swell energy values barely cracking 60 (64) on the best day, and for days on end it's down in the teens (26, 16, 11). The swell is mostly small, under 2ft, with short-period windswell around 5-8 seconds. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 75°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal – that’s much warmer than average for the time of year, but it won't help the surf get any better. You’ll see glassy mornings here and there, which is a tease, but the waves simply aren’t there.
There’s a gap of nearly two weeks with absolutely no decent surf to recommend.
Finally, around Tuesday the 11th of August, things start to look a little different. We get a pulse of NNW swell, lifting the combined energy to 106, and the wave height pushes up to around 4ft. It’s still a short-period swell at 6 seconds, but it’s the only time in the window where the ocean has any real push. The early morning winds look light and variable, which is a major positive for getting clean if small waves.
But that’s about it. This is a reef break that's inconsistent and rarely breaks, and the only time it might have some shape is that mid-August spike. It’s not a guaranteed day, but if you’re desperate, that Tuesday the 11th is the only shot on offer. For the rest, the kites might have more fun than the surfers.
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.
