The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks around Mutriku. Gotta be straight with you, it's a tough outlook for the immediate future. We've got a big gap of flat, messy conditions to get through before things start to look interesting.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Saturday the 5th of September. That morning, we see a bit of a pulse arriving. It's a 3ft groundswell out of the NW with a long 12 second period. The combined energy is moderate at 282, and with glassy conditions, it might just be enough to get you out of the house on a log or a funboard. The water's a balmy 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The standout, without a doubt, is Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session looks to be the best on offer for the entire forecast. We get a solid 5ft NW groundswell, still with a nice long 12 second period, and the energy bumps up to 569. But the real magic is the wind – a light SE breeze at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is where you want to be at Mutriku's reef. The waves will have some push, but shouldn't be too wild for the average surfer.
After that, things drop off again. Monday the 7th sees the swell fade back to weak and messy. There's a morning of glassy 2ft surf on the 7th with a very long 16 second period, but that long period makes it tricky for the reef setup, and the energy is weak at 270. Then it's back into doldrums of poor conditions for the rest of the first week and into the second.
Looking further out into the second week, we see some energy pop up again. Monday the 14th has a 4ft NW swell that morning with glassy conditions and decent energy (341), but it's followed by a jump in size that afternoon to 6ft. That's a bit of a jump and the onshore wind spoils it. Thursday the 17th has another morning of small, glassy swell from the WNW with an 11 second period, but it's tiny at 2ft. Overall, the second week is a waiting game with no real standout sessions.
Forget the boards for the first few days. It turns out this stretch of coast might be more interesting for the kite surfers if you're into that. The main thing is to pencil in Sunday morning, the 6th of September, for a paddle. The rest of the time, keep an eye on the forecast; things can change, but right now it's looking like a lot of time sitting on the beach.
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.
