The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the coming weeks for Mutriku.

We’ve got a bit of a stop-start pattern here, so don’t get too excited too fast. The first real chance for a wave comes up on Thursday morning, the 20th of August. It’s not huge, with a 4ft NW swell, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The water is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, sitting at 77°, which is a solid five degrees above what you'd usually expect. That’s a treat. The combined swell energy is moderate at 422. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to wait for the sets, but when they come, it’s a good option for a beginner. Just know that crowds are a possibility here sometimes.

Friday morning, the 21st, is the real standout. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the NW, period hanging at 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1149, so there’s proper power behind it. The wind is cross-off again, keeping it clean. This is the best on offer in the whole window. It’s solid but not too big for a confident surfer. That’s your session.

Saturday and Sunday drop off quickly. The swell fades, wind turns onshore or crosses, and it’s not worth paddling out. Monday the 24th has glassy conditions but the swell is tiny, just 1ft, and the energy is almost nothing at 9. That’s a lake, not surf.

There’s a gap of a few days here with nothing worth jumping for. Then Tuesday morning, the 25th, has a clean 4ft WNW swell with light cross-off wind, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (166). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

The next real promise doesn’t come until Friday morning, the 28th of August. That’s over a week away. You’re looking at a 7ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The wind is cross-off and light, so it’ll be clean. The energy is strong at 872. This is your second standout. It’s a little bigger, so not one for the beginners, but good for anyone with a bit of experience. Saturday the 29th morning holds similar, with a 6ft NW swell and clean conditions, energy at 587.

Sunday the 30th morning is glassy with a 7ft NW swell. The energy is strong at 635. That’s a magic morning if the tide plays ball, but be aware it’s a strong swell for a reef break, so watch the shallow sections. Monday the 31st morning is also glassy, with a 6ft NW swell. Another clean one.

After that, the quality drops again. There’s a bit of a lull through the start of September, but Thursday morning the 3rd of September looks promising: glassy conditions with a 6ft NW swell, good period of 10 seconds, and moderate energy at 599. That’s a solid morning, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

Overall, if you can make Friday the 21st or Friday the 28th, you’re onto a winner. The rest is patchy.

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.
