The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This 16-day window is a tough one for Mutriku. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. There’s one brief window where things line up for a surfable wave, but don’t get too carried away—it’s not going to be a classic. The rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do.

The outlook starts with nothing worth paddling out for. From Sunday the 2nd through to the morning of Monday the 17th, it’s mostly a write-off. We’re talking swell heights barely above 2 ft to 2 ft, with periods under 8 seconds—that’s just wind chop and leftovers. The wind is either light and onshore, or occasionally glassy, but there’s just no energy in the water. The combined swell energy stays mostly below 100 (39, 24, 33, 42, 31) which is weak. You’d be floating around more than surfing. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th have some glassy mornings, but with 0.5 ft to 1 ft of swell, it’s not even worth getting the board wet.

There is a slight bump mid-period—Thursday the 6th brings 3 ft to 4 ft of northwest swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 161 and 203 (moderate), which is the most we see for a while. But the wind is onshore, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. Not a day to get excited about. Friday the 7th drops back down, and the rest of that first week stays weak and disorganized.

The only real window where things come together is the morning of Monday the 17th. We finally get a cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, which will clean up the faces. Swell is 4 ft from the northwest with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 211 (moderate). That’s the standout of the whole period. It’s not big, but it’s the only time we get a proper offshore wind and a decent pulse of swell together. This is the one to aim for. The break itself, Mutriku (Basque Country), is a sheltered reef that likes the northwest swell, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a constant line-up. But if you get a set, it should have some shape. The afternoon on the 17th drops back to a cross-on breeze and less energy, so make the most of the morning.

Water temp is 75°, which is 5° warmer than the long-term average—that’s notable, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. A shorty or even a spring suit will do.

So, honestly, if you can’t make Monday the 17th morning, you might as well write this fortnight off. The rest is flat or junky. Keep an eye on it though—things can change, but this run looks pretty poor for a while.

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.
