The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the Basque coast, lookin' at what's on the menu for Mutriku over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a lean spell, so don't go clearin' your calendar just yet.
We’re lookin' at a long stretch ahead. The first real whisper of a wave doesn’t show up until Sunday the 6th, and even then, it's touch and go. There's a solid gap of a few days of pretty much nothin' worth paddlin' out for after that.
Right, so the standout of the whole period, the one that’s got me a little excited, is the Sunday morning session on the 6th of September. Mutriku's a sheltered little reef setup, and it cleans right up with some light offshore wind out of the west, glassy conditions. We’re talkin' about a clean 5 feet of swell pushin' in from the northwest. The energy's in the mix, sittin' at (615), which is moderate, but the period's at a nice, long 12 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy for the reef.
After that, we go into a bit of a lull. There’s a fleeting moment on Thursday the 10th of September that looks interesting. It’s clean and glassy again, with a 5-foot NW swell and 11-second period. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The energy's there (524), and conditions look good, but the swell's not as consistent. It’s a morning-only window before the cross-onshore kicks in.
Other than that, the rest of the two weeks is a lot of chopped-out, onshore junk or tiny, weak swell. The surf quality drops off a cliff after that Thursday. For the second week, from the 11th onward, you're mostly lookin' at small, messy waves with onshore winds tearin' 'em apart. Not much to write home about, honestly.
So, to sum it up: lock in that Sunday the 6th morning for the best bet, and maybe keep an eye on Thursday the 10th morning. The rest, you might as well stay on the beach and watch the clouds roll in. Trust me, I wish I had better news.
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.
