The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Mutriku over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The forecast is showing nothing but small, weak, and generally poor conditions for the foreseeable future. There are literally no standout sessions on offer here.
We’ve got a long dry spell kicking off right now. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through until at least the morning of Monday the 10th of August, it’s just not happening. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wave energy is pitiful, with values barely scraping into the double digits most days. You’ll see combined energy readings like 64, 53, even as low as 10. That’s just not enough to push a decent wave. Even when the wind goes glassy on a few mornings, like Friday the 31st of July or Tuesday the 4th of August, there’s simply no swell to work with.
Things finally show a pulse of energy around the 7th of August. We see some 4ft swell from the WNW showing up on Friday the 7th with combined energy jumping to 241, and again on Saturday the 8th with a 4ft NW swell and energy hitting 338. But even then, it’s still scored as poor surf conditions. The winds are messy – onshore or light cross-shore – so you’re looking at weak, choppy lines.
The only flicker of hope lands on Monday morning, the 10th of August. We get a 4ft NW groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy reads a solid 308. The wind is glassy, which is a big positive for a clean surface. This is the best wave of the entire forecast, but it’s still just scoring a 1 out of 10 for surfability, which tells you the quality isn’t there. The water temp is a balmy 75°, which is 5° warmer than usual – that’s much warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least a wetsuit won’t be an issue.
After that, it fades right back to flat, weak dribble for the rest of the run. Mutriku itself is an inconsistent reef break, and this forecast is a perfect example of why. Strong, long-period NW groundswells are what this spot needs, and we just aren’t getting the right combination of size and direction. Hang tight, folks – it won't stay this way forever.

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.
