The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here with a look at the coming swell window for our local spot. Things are gonna be a bit of a slow burner, but there's a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel if you're patient.
Right now, and for the next several days, it’s a frustrating story. We’ve got a pulse of swell around from the 25th to the 26th, with waves hitting 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is just wrecking it. Strong cross-shore breezes and even some stormy weather are making a mess of things, so it’s a definite pass. The water temp is sitting at 77°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost like a bath.
Then we hit a real quiet spell. From the 27th right through until the 2nd of August, the surf is tiny and weak. We’re looking at waves from 2 ft to 5 ft, mostly with poor conditions. Even when it goes glassy on the morning of the 29th with just 3 ft, the energy is low. It's a classic flat spell; a blank run like this isn't too unusual for the area, so don't throw your board in the bin just yet.
The real story, the one that’s got me a little bit excited, is what’s shaping up for Monday the 3rd of August. Things look solid. The morning is calling for a clean, glassy 5 ft of NW groundswell with a long 11-second period. The swell direction matches the break’s optimum, and with zero wind, it should be pristine. This is definitely the standout of the whole outlook. The afternoon sees the swell building to 6 ft with even more energy, but a cross-onshore breeze will mess with the quality a bit, so make the most of that early session.
After that high point, the energy immediately fades. From Tuesday the 4th onwards, it’s back to small, weak, and often blown-out surf until the end of the forecast window on the 9th. There might be a tiny bump of 4 ft on the 9th morning, but the period is short and the winds aren't ideal.
TL;DR: Wait for Monday morning the 3rd of August at Mutriku. That 5 ft NW groundswell with glassy conditions is your best bet. Get it while it’s good, because the rest of the run looks pretty average.
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.
