Alright, grab your board, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is looking like a write-off. You're looking at a massive gap of almost no surf worth paddling out for. The only flicker of life doesn't appear until the morning of Sunday, 19 July, and even then it's a bit of a stretch. Let's break it down.
For the first two weeks, from the start of the period right through to mid-July, it's flat and poor. We're talking tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft waves, mostly cross-onshore winds, and the combined swell energy is barely cracking 100. The water temp anomaly is about average for the time of year, so you can't blame the cold for keeping you out. There are brief moments of glassy conditions on a few mornings, like Tuesday July 7th, Thursday July 9th, Friday July 10th, Tuesday July 14th, Thursday July 16th, and Friday July 17th, but with next to no swell it's just flat, clean water. Not worth getting wet.
Finally, on Sunday the 19th of July, the afternoon sees a jump in size, hitting a much better 6 ft from the NW. The combined wave energy rockets up to 597 – that's strong energy. However, the winds go choppy cross-onshore, making it messy. Before that, on the morning of Sunday the 19th, it's a smaller 2 ft from the NW with a very long period of 12 seconds and clean, cross-off winds from the SW. That 2 ft might look small, but that long period means there's a bit of push, and with clean conditions, it's actually the most surfable of the lot. But it's still only a *1 out of 10* – surfable but very ordinary.
Mutriku (reef) is the only spot in the game. It's a sheltered reef, inconsistent, and the only swell it really likes comes from the NW. That's a perfect direction match for what we finally get on the 19th. The crowd factor can be an issue sometimes, but honestly, you won't be fighting for waves on what's on offer here.
Forget about the second week entirely – it's dead quiet until that last weekend. The standout, if you can even call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 19th for a small, clean, long-period swell. It's not great, but it's the best of a bad bunch. This is one of those times where the forecast might change, but right now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.

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.
