The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Mutriku.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real magic brewing towards the end of the first week and into the weekend after. The water is sitting at 75°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

The first real action kicks off on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. It’s glassy, dead calm, with a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate (440). This is the first standout of the period – proper clean conditions with a bit of push. Mutriku is an inconsistent reef, so when it lines up like this, you want to be on it.

Sunday morning the 30th keeps the momentum going. Another glassy morning, 5ft from the NW with a 10-second period and a solid energy reading (498). Clean, peeling waves. This is the kind of session you call in sick for.

Monday morning the 31st is also glassy, with 5ft from the NW and a 10-second period. The energy is still moderate (432). Another very solid morning. Mutriku can get crowded sometimes, so get there early.

The middle of the week drops right off. From Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell fades and the wind turns messy. A few days of nothing worth paddling out for.

Then on Friday the 4th of September, the afternoon brings a weird spike. The swell is only 3ft, but the period jumps to 15 seconds from the NW, with a moderate energy reading (311). That long period groundswell will be breaking straight at a beach break, so it might be more interesting for the reefs or points, but it’s still poor surf conditions overall. Not a recommendation.

Now here’s the big one. Saturday morning, the 5th of September. This is the true standout. We’ve got 6ft from the NW, a 13-second period, and a combined energy reading of 1040 – that is strong wave energy. The wind is light offshore from the south, so it’ll be clean. This is the best session on offer, no question. The swell is a little over 5ft, so it’s getting too big for beginners, but for anyone with some experience, this is the one. Expect a proper groundswell with long, powerful lines.

Sunday morning the 6th of September is still decent – 5ft from the NW with an 11-second period, glassy, moderate energy (449). A solid follow-up day.

After that, the swell drops right off again. From Monday the 7th all the way through to Saturday the 12th of September, there’s nothing worth recommending. A long, flat stretch. The 12th of September morning shows a tiny 1ft swell with an 18-second period, but that’s barely a ripple.

To sum it up: the standout is Saturday the 5th of September morning. Glassy Saturday the 29th of August and Sunday the 30th of August mornings are also excellent. Don’t sleep on the 5th.

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.
