The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Mutriku.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a real quiet stretch. For the next several days, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first week is pretty much a write-off with tiny, weak waves and mostly cross or onshore wind. You’d be better off tuning your board than getting wet. There’s a bit of a gap there with nothing doing.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday morning the 27th. It’s not going to blow you away, but we get a pulse of 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds and a clean offshore wind from the SSW. The water is running much warmer than usual for this time of year at 76°F, about 5°F above average – that’s notable, feels like a warm bath. The energy is moderate (324), and while it’s surfable, it’s really just ordinary. A light session for the keen ones.
Now, if you want the standout, you’ve gotta circle Friday the 28th. This is the one. Early morning we get a solid 10ft NW groundswell with a period of 11 seconds – that’s proper, long period energy. The combined energy is very strong (2544), and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, it’s going to be clean. This is excellent surf, but let’s be real, at that size it’s for experienced surfers only. The swell direction lines up nicely with Mutriku’s optimum from the NW. This is the session to aim for, but expect some crowds as it’s a known spot.
After that, Saturday the 29th morning is still fun with a 6ft NW swell, clean with a cross-off wind, but it’s a step down in quality.
Looking further out into the first week of September, things go quiet again. There’s a long, flat spell. The next potential window shows up on Sunday the 6th of September. It’s a long-range call, so don’t hold your breath, but there’s a 4ft NW groundswell with an 11-second period coming in, clean with a light cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (466) and it’s listed as “expect good surf conditions.” Could be a nice one, but keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: The first week is mostly a bust. The real prize is Friday the 28th for the crew that can handle it. After that, you’re waiting until September 6th for the next whisper of a chance.
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.
