The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty flat. But, hold on to your boards, because there's a solid little window of clean waves coming in.
The standout here is the Monday morning, the 17th of August. The swell fills in nicely with a clean 3 ft of SSW groundswell. The period is a tasty 16 seconds, which means the energy is there, and the water is looking glassy. The combined energy is a solid 283, so you'll feel the push. The wave quality is good, and with that long period, it's going to be a proper point break affair. For a beginner-friendly reef break, that's a real treat.
Now, the water at Arguineguin is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
After that, the pattern keeps rolling. We've got that same SSW groundswell pushing through the rest of the week. The Wednesday morning, the 19th, is another highlight with a glassy 3 ft swell at 16 seconds (281 energy). The Thursday morning, the 20th, is also looking good with a clean 3 ft (261 energy). The wind is light and variable, mostly glassy or cross-off, so it's going to be clean.
The second week, from the 22nd of August onward, the swell starts to back off. The wave heights drop to 2 ft and less, and the period shortens up. The energy fades, and by the 23rd, we're back to poor surf conditions. The wind stays light, but there just isn't enough swell to get excited about. It's a long run of small, weak waves that will likely be a struggle to ride.
So, the advice is clear: get your sessions in from the 17th to the 21st of August. The Monday and Wednesday mornings are the pick of the bunch. The rest of the window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing.
Rusty.

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.
