Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mutriku over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Mutriku for the next couple weeks.
Straight up, most of this 16-day stretch is a struggle for this sheltered reef. The water temp is 76°F, which is much warmer than usual for August – feels like the ocean’s got a fever.
Thursday the 27th morning is glassy but with only 0.4m of NW swell and an energy reading of 20 – absolutely tiny. Not worth a paddle. Friday the 28th has a bit more size, 1.2m from the WNW and NW around 1.2m, but the period is short (7–8 seconds) and the wind is messy.
Saturday the 29th morning is the first real look. Glassy wind, 1.2m from the WNW, energy reading 216 – moderate. It’s surfable but nothing special. The reef is inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every set, and you might have company.
Sunday the 30th morning is your standout. 1.6m of NW swell at 11 seconds, combined energy hits 548 – strong for Mutriku. Glassy conditions make it clean. The swell direction is exactly what this reef wants. At 1.6m on a reef, it’s a bit much for beginners. The afternoon brings cross-onshore wind that kills it.
Monday the 31st morning is glassy again with 1.6m from the NW, but the energy drops to 388 and the wave quality is just ordinary. After the 1st of September, the swell fades and the wind turns mostly onshore or cross-onshore. A glassy morning on the 4th of September gives 0.9m from the WNW, but energy is only 136 – weak.
From the 5th of September onward, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and not worth it. A couple glassy mornings pop up with nothing behind them. The 9th of September morning has 1.1m from the NW with glassy wind, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is 111 – just not enough.
Your best bet is Sunday the 30th of August morning. After that, it’s a waiting game.
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.
