Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Arguineguin. I’ve got to level with you—this stretch is looking pretty flat for a while. The first proper recommendation doesn’t kick in until the morning of Friday the 10th of July, and even then, it’s just a whisper. So we’re looking at a gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at 72° for the first recommendation, which is pretty normal for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 11th of July. We’ve got a small southerly swell bumping up to about 1ft, coming from the SSW with a period of 19 seconds. That’s a real long-period groundswell, which means nice shaped waves but longer lulls between sets. It’ll pair well with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north, keeping things clean. The combined energy is sitting around 202 (moderate), so there’s actually some push in the water for once. This is the standout period for the whole outlook—still small, but it’s the best we’ve got. Just be aware, Arguineguin is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so you might need to be patient.
Sunday the 12th of July morning holds a similar story. Swell holds at 2ft from the SSW with a 18-second period. The energy bumps up to 246 (moderate again), and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast, it’s about as good as this flat spell gets. That’s your other window.
After that, we drop back down. The rest of the second week through to Monday the 20th of July is mostly small, weak, and ordinary. Monday the 13th has some waist-high stuff but the wind gets a little cross and messy. Tuesday the 14th afternoon goes glassy but the swell is tiny. The 18th and 19th of July offer a few 1ft waves with moderate energy (109-115), but nothing that’ll get your heart racing.
Let’s be honest—it’s a long run of quiet surf. If you’re desperate, the Saturday and Sunday mornings on the 11th and 12th are your best bet. Otherwise, keep an eye on the forecasts; things can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Arguineguin Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Arguineguin provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Arguineguin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Arguineguin 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 (Arguineguin) 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 Arguineguin 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.
