The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Mutriku. The water is feeling a good bit warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a small bonus.

To be straight with you, the first week of the forecast is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions. The swell energy is tiny, with readings barely scraping double digits, and the wind is all over the place – onshore, cross, side-off… nothing is coming together for a proper surf. You’ll be waiting a while.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Thursday, the 27th of August. We’ve got a clean offshore wind from the southwest, blowing at 12 mph, and the swell starts to build. The waves are pushing 5 ft out of the west-northwest, with moderate energy (280). It’s surfable, but the conditions are still described as ordinary. It’s a start, but don’t expect perfection.

The weekend is where things get interesting. The standout session is the morning of Saturday, the 29th of August. The wind drops to glassy, nothing, zero. The swell jumps to 7 ft out of the west-northwest, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong (756). This is the best on offer, and it’s a genuine window for Mutriku. The waves will have some punch, but at this size, it’s a solid intermediate wave. Keep in mind this spot is a reef, so it’s not one for beginners, and it can be inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient for the sets. There’s a chance of crowds, too.

The following week, into early September, is another mixed bag. You’ll see some glassy mornings with knee-high swell, like the 1st of September, but the energy is low (249) and the surf is pretty ordinary. The water is still clean, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

The real wildcard is the morning of Monday, the 7th of September. The swell is forecast to be 12 ft out of the west-northwest, with a very high energy reading (2048). Now, that’s a serious amount of water. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period swell with a lot of raw power. The wind is cross-onshore, which will make it choppy, and at that size, it’s strictly for experts only. Mutriku is a reef, so it might handle it, but it could be a washing machine. This one is a long way out, so treat it with a grain of salt for now.

To sum it up: the first week is a bust. The prime window is Saturday morning, the 29th of August, with glassy conditions and solid chest-to-head-high waves. Keep an eye on the 7th of September for a big, messy swell that only the brave should consider.

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.
