Mutriku Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

The next couple of days are looking pretty flat and miserable around here. We've got a bit of swell on the way Thursday morning, but the wind is going to be messy, so it's not worth getting too excited about. We’re looking at a few days of small, poor conditions before things finally start to turn around.

That first real chance of something clean comes up on the morning of Sunday the 13th. Mutriku is an inconsistent reef break, so you have to pick your moments, but that morning is looking glassy with a 4ft NW groundswell. The energy is moderate at 603, and the period is a solid 13 seconds. That's a proper lined-up swell for the reef. The water's sitting at 74°F, which is 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that's pretty notable and means you can get away with a thinner suit.

The window stays open through Monday the 14th morning. Still glassy, still 4ft of NW, but the period drops a touch to 11 seconds and the energy settles to 406. Still worth a paddle if you missed Sunday.

Then it fades out again. Midweek is a write-off with small, choppy junk. We’re back to waiting.

The next proper highlight lands on Saturday the 19th. The morning session looks glassy again, 4ft of NW swell with an 11-second period and moderate energy at 426. It won't be as clean or powerful as Sunday, but it’s a solid, surfable morning.

But the real standout in this whole stretch is Monday the 21st. That morning, the swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the NW, with a 10-second period. The energy readings are huge at 1837—that’s strong to very strong stuff. For a reef break like Mutriku, that’s going to be a serious, powerful wave. The wind is glassy, so it should be holding some shape. Now, at 10ft, this is definitely expert territory. This is not a day for beginners. It’s also over 9 days away, so while it looks very promising, we treat that with some caution. The days after it ease off, with Tuesday the 22nd still seeing a solid 6ft in the morning under glassy conditions, and the rest of the week offering smaller but still clean windows.

So, if you’re picking your days, Sunday the 13th is the smart, clean call. Monday the 21st is the big one—if you’ve got the skills and the nerve, that’s the standout.
