The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Mutriku. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch of sixteen days is a real struggle. The surf is tiny, weak, and the conditions are mostly messy. We’re looking at a long, flat spell before anything even remotely interesting shows up.
The first real chance to even paddle out doesn’t come until the morning of Wednesday, August 13th. That’s a solid two weeks of waiting with almost nothing on offer. The swell is just not there.
For that Wednesday morning, we finally get a little pulse. The break is Mutriku, a sheltered reef. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. It’s not massive, but the combined swell energy is moderate, hitting 157. The real kicker is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions. That’s a major positive – it’ll be clean as a whistle. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Now, this spot is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a non-stop barrage. You’ll be waiting for sets. The swell direction is WNW, which is a solid match for the optimum NW direction for this spot. It’s a tricky one, because the size is small, but the glassy calm and moderate energy make it the only real standout in this whole forecast. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company for those few clean waves.
Before that, the whole line-up is a write-off. Tiny swell, poor winds, and weak energy. The morning of Friday, August 7th, offers a 3ft swell from the NW with zero wind and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (82) and the period is short at 6 seconds. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The rest of the time, it’s a mix of onshore breeze and swell barely reaching 2ft.
If you’re a beginner, most of this is too small anyway. The 3ft swell on the 13th is manageable. For the experts waiting for something over 8ft, you’re out of luck – nothing even close.
So, keep your eye on the morning of August 13th. That’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. Forecasts can change, but this one’s lookin’ pretty bleak.
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.
