The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Mutriku. We’re looking at a sheltered reef break that needs everything to line up, and for the first week and a half, it’s a no-go. The water is warm at 75°, way above normal for this time of year.
The first surfable day shows up around Monday, August 10th, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the NW with a 9-second period. The wind is glassy in the morning, so it’s clean. The combined wave energy is weak (72), so it’s a log or a learner wave.
We get a few more glassy mornings on the 11th, 12th, and 13th, but the swell stays small—2ft to 1ft—and the energy stays low (65, 64, 39). The wind is perfect, but the ocean is flat.
Friday, August 14th, shows a little more juice. The morning is glassy with 2ft from the WNW at 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate (108). That’s the best of the first week, but it’s not a standout.
The real change hits on Friday, August 21st. That morning we’ve got 6ft of NW swell with an 11-second period. The energy jumps to 851—that’s strong. The wind is light cross-onshore from the ENE, so it’s not perfect, but it’s surfable. This is expert territory on size, and the long period will hold on the reef. Conditions are still a bit marginal.
Saturday, August 22nd, is the gem. The morning is glassy, with 4ft from the NW at 10 seconds and wave energy at 240. That’s clean, solid, head-high. The wind is dead calm, so the faces will be smooth. The swell direction (NW) is exactly what this break wants. This is the day to paddle out. Crowds are possible, so be early.
After that, Sunday the 23rd drops off fast—2ft and messy cross-shore wind.
So, for the whole 16-day window, there’s a long stretch of tiny, clean waves that aren’t worth chasing, then a short, punchy window of real, glassy surf on the 22nd. That’s your one and only standout.

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.
