The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Mutriku.

First up, the water is sitting at a very warm 76°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real treat, so don’t even think about a thick wetsuit.

Alright, let's be straight with you. The start of this forecast period is a real bummer. We’ve got a solid gap of flat, poor conditions through the first few days. The swell is tiny and the wind is messy. It’s not until Thursday morning, the 27th of August, that we see a pulse of life. A 4ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds and clean offshore wind from the S. The combined energy is moderate at 192. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Nothing to get worked up about.

Thursday afternoon kicks up a bit, but the wind turns cross-on, so it’s messy. Friday sees a bigger but wind-affected swell, and Saturday morning the 29th of August gives us a clean, glassy 4ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 270, but the conditions are still just "ordinary." It’s a consistent pattern of small, clean windows that never quite deliver the goods.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Friday the 4th of September. We’ve got a solid 8ft NW swell rolling in with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the W. The combined energy is strong at 826. This is the first time we see a "good surf conditions" call. That’s a proper session. The break is a sheltered reef, so this longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. Because it's a reef, it will handle the size well. It’s a beginner spot, so it’s usually not too heavy, but at 8ft it’s getting a bit much for the groms. Keep an eye on the crowds though, as it can get busy here.

The very best on offer, however, is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. The swell jumps to 8ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the W. The combined energy is very strong at 1363. This is the big one. The forecast says "very good surf conditions," and that’s the highest praise we see. This is for experienced surfers only at this size. The reef will handle the power, and the clean morning wind will make for some fantastic, punchy waves. The afternoon looks messy, so get out there early.

After that, the following week settles down. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September offer clean, glassy mornings with solid swell, but it gets a bit wonky with the wind later. The swell stays around and the water is still warm, but the magic of that Friday-Saturday run is the peak. Don't sleep on it.

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.
