The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our little slice of paradise over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is gonna be a total bust. We’re looking at a proper dry spell. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Thursday the 14th of August, the swell is just not there. We’re talking tiny, dribbly little waves that won’t even get you out of first gear. The combined wave energy is stuck in the low double digits, barely cracking 50 (22 to 59). It’s frustrating, but these flat spells happen here. The good news is the wind is mostly light and often offshore or glassy, so if you’re dying for a paddle, the water will be like a mirror, but you’ll be floating on a lake.
Now, where it gets interesting is Friday the 14th of August. Things start to wake up. The swell direction is from the SSW, and we get a pulse of much longer period, groundswell energy. The wave heights are still small, around 1 ft, but the period jumps to 19-20 seconds, and the combined energy lifts to 141 (Friday morning) and 150 (Friday afternoon). The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about right for the start of a rebuild. The wind is a clean cross-off, so it’s not a washout, but it’s not the one to get excited about yet.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Saturday the 15th of August. This is the best of the run. We’ve got a clean 2 ft to 2 ft SSW swell, with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is solidly in the moderate range at 237 on Saturday morning and 245 in the afternoon. The wind is offshore from the NNE on the morning, going to a light cross-off in the afternoon. The call is for "good surf conditions." This is a classic reef break setup at Arguineguin – the long period groundswell is perfect for a reef, drawing up clean lines. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama. Just keep in mind this spot is described as "inconsistent" and it "rarely breaks," so when it does, it can get crowded. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue, but on a morning like this, expect a few locals to be out. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so don’t be intimidated by the long period; the waves will be small and clean.
Sunday the 16th of August keeps the fun going with a similar 3 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, and combined energy of 286. Plenty of clean lines on offer with a light cross-off wind. It’s a solid end to the weekend.
So, to wrap it up: the first 13 days are a write-off for surfing. Enjoy the beach. The only real action kicks off on the 15th and 16th of August at Arguineguin. It’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed, but it’s looking like the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
