The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Mutriku. And mate, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough one. This is a 16-day forecast, and it’s one of those rare runs where the ocean just isn’t playing ball. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The first good opportunity doesn't show up until the end of July, and even then, it’s only just surfable.

Let’s break it down. From Wednesday the 22nd through to the end of the first week, it’s grim. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (65) on the Wednesday morning, and it stays like that for days. The wind is a mess, mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is tiny and short period. Honestly, for the first five days, the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with that fresh cross-shore wind on the 25th kicking up a lumpy 8 ft – that’s only for the experts, and even then, it’s ugly.

We finally get a little window on Monday the 27th. The morning brings a glassy calm with a 4 ft NW swell that has a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 265 – that’s moderate energy. The water is much warmer than normal at 77 °F, which is over three degrees warmer than average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Not a standout, but a chance to get wet if you’re desperate.

The next real chance comes on Wednesday the 29th. Again, a glassy morning with a 4 ft NW swell, period 10 seconds, and energy at 220. It’s the same story: clean, small, and very ordinary. Thursday the 30th also has a glassy morning with a similar 4 ft NW swell, but it’s still just “surfable.”

Then from the 31st onward, it trickles away. The swell drops off, the energy fades, and by the 6th of August we’re down to 0.7 ft with 22 energy.

So, if I had to call a winner across this whole bleak period, it’s the early morning of Monday the 27th of July. It’s the first time the stars align even a little. Mutriku is a sheltered reef break, so it cleans up nicely with that glassy wind. The swell is small at 4 ft, coming from the NW, which is the optimum direction for this spot. But it’s inconsistent, and it’s only a 1 out of 10 on the quality scale. Don’t expect a barrel, just a few weak, clean lines.

The Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are similar, but with each passing day, the energy is a bit lower. It’s a long, patient wait, and right now, there’s nothing pumping. That’s just how it goes sometimes.

Stay patient, and check back in a few days. Forecasts can change.

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.
