The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's be real here. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a bummer for waves. It's flat, it's small, and there's just no punch. The swell energy is weak, reading around 78 units right now. We're in a bit of a dead zone.
Yeah, this is a serious dry patch. From Sunday the 16th all the way through Thursday the 20th, you can hang up your wetsuit. Heights are barely pushing 3ft, periods are short and weak, and it's just a whole lot of nothing. Don't even bother paddling out.
Then, on the morning of Friday the 21st, we finally see a pulse. A little NW groundswell at 4ft with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate at 359 units. The winds are calm and it's glassy. It's not huge, but it's the first real wave we've seen in days. Mutriku is a sheltered reef, which helps, but it's inconsistent, so be ready to sit and wait. The sets will be few and far between.
That swell backs off a bit on Saturday the 22nd, leaving us with 3ft waves and moderate energy. The morning is clean again. It's small, but it's surfable. Then the energy fades away into the new week, dropping back into the poor range. Those days in between are totally forgettable.
The real standout shows up on Sunday the 30th of August. Another pulse of NW swell, about 4ft, but the period is shorter. Still, the energy kicks up to 241 units and the morning wind is glassy. It's clean, it's rideable, and after the last couple of weeks, it’s going to feel like a proper session. It won't have the same grunt as the swell on the 21st, but it’s probably the best bet of the whole run.
So, hang tight. The first week is rubbish. Your windows are the mornings of the 21st and the 30th. Keep expectations in check, it's not going to be epic, but it'll be worth getting out for. Water temps are pretty normal for this time of year.
Rusty out.

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.
