The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Mutriku over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for this sheltered reef break. The first decent surfable condition doesn't show up until Monday morning, 17th August, and even then it’s a case of grabbing what you can. We’ve got a long gap from the start of the forecast period with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t rush.
Come Monday morning, 17th August, we’re looking at a 4ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is a moderate 178, but the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze keeping things clean. The water temperature is a notable 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year — 5°F warmer than average, so you’ll be loving the bathwater.
The standout window, and the one to really mark on your calendar, is Saturday morning, 22nd August. The forecast shows a 3ft swell from the NW with a longer period of 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape and push. The combined energy is 175, but the real kicker is the glassy conditions with that light WNW wind. It’ll be clean, smooth, and the best we’ll see across the whole period. Mutriku is an inconsistent reef, and it’s sheltered, so when it lines up with a NW swell and glass, it’s a special little window. The water is still balmy. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so if you’re keen, get in early.
After that, Monday morning, 24th August, sees a pulse of 7ft swell from the NNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the combined energy is a strong 417. That’s a lot of power for a short period, and with a moderate cross-offshore wind, it’s going to be a bit of a handful. That size is for experts only, especially with the short period making it dumpy. The rest of the week drops right back off into tiny, poor conditions, so don’t hold your breath for the second week. It’s a real desert out there after the 22nd.
So, in short: Saturday morning, 22nd August, is your best bet. Clean, glassy, and a little pulse of groundswell to keep it interesting. A rare moment for this inconsistent spot.
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.
