The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cooking for the local stretch.

Overall, it's a pretty quiet spell ahead. We're looking at a long, dry run with hardly any surf to speak of for the better part of the next week and a half. The only real possibility on the radar is a late-blooming window that might just save us.

Right now, and for the next several days, things are flat. The swell is tiny and weak, with energy levels barely registering (18), and the water is an unusual 77°F – that's a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual. It’s a real bummer for a stretch that usually has a bit more life. The only break we’ve got to work with is Mutriku, a sheltered reef setup that needs a clean NW swell to light up.

The first few days, from Sunday the 19th through to the end of July, are a write-off. You’ll see small, short-period bumps (1.0ft to 4ft) but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it a messy, choppy affair. Even the glassy mornings don't have enough energy to push a decent wave. It’s just not worth paddling out for.

The good news is, we start to see a glimmer of hope in the first few days of August. On Thursday morning, the 30th of July, we get a pulse of energy. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions." The swell is still modest at 4ft from the NNW, but with a period of 11 seconds and glassy conditions, this will be the standout of the entire forecast. The combined energy is a solid 403 (moderate to strong), suggesting there’s some real push behind it. Because it's a reef break, that longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. This is your window. The morning of the 30th is the best bet we have.

After that, it fades back into mediocrity. The 31st of July and the 1st of August have some surfable but “very ordinary” conditions, with small waist-high waves and onshore winds creeping in during the afternoons. By the 2nd and 3rd of August, the energy drops right off again, and we're back to tiny, weak waves.

So, the call is this: if you're keen, pencil in the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. It’s the one chance for a proper, clean session. The rest of the 16 days is a flat spell with a few small, messy options that are more for a longboard cruise than a proper surf. It’s a tough run, but that one morning could be a real treat.

Stay stoked,
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.
