The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's on offer for Mutriku.
Honestly, it's looking like a pretty flat stretch ahead. The first few days are a write-off, with barely any push and poor conditions. We've got a gap with no surf worth your time from now right through until the morning of the 5th of September. That's a long stretch of small, weak dribble.
The real problem is the swell is inconsistent and the energy is just not there. Water temp is sitting at 75°F, a good 5°F warmer than it should be for this time of year, so it feels like a late summer bath out there.
The first glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 5th. We've got a long-period NW groundswell filling in, around 2ft, but with a period of 11 seconds, so it'll have a bit more shape than the slop we've seen. The combined energy is moderate at 189, and with glassy, offshore winds from the ENE, it'll be clean. It's just not very big, and it's inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for the odd set.
The morning of Sunday the 6th of September might be the best of a bad bunch. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft from the NW, still with that nice 12-second period. The combined energy climbs to 395 (moderate) and light cross-offshore winds from the SE will keep the surface clean. It's still not a standout, but it's the most push we see for a while.
After that, we drift back into smaller stuff with onshore winds spoiling things. The morning of the 12th of September has another pulse of 4ft NW swell with 10-second period and glassy easterlies, giving a combined energy of 391. It's a decent little window, but nothing to write home about. Mutriku (Spain) is a sheltered reef that needs the right direction, and with inconsistent waves and sometimes crowds, it's a roll of the dice.
Don't get your hopes up for the second week. It's all small, weak, and forgettable. The 16th of September morning has a tiny 1ft NW swell with a 15-second period... that's barely a ripple.
There’s really only one true standout, and that’s the morning of the 6th of September. It's not perfect, but if you're jonesing for a surf, that's your best bet for the best combination of size and clean conditions.

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.
