The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off with a real dry spell, so no need to wax up just yet. The first proper chance of a wave doesn't come around until the very end of August. For the next four or five days it's flat to tiny, with no energy. You're better off taking a long walk on the beach.
Things finally start to stir on Sunday, August 30th. Over at Arguineguin, a little 1ft SSW groundswell shows up with a long 17-second period. The energy is still weak, so it's not gonna get the heart racing. Water temp is nothing special for this time of year.
The standout day, no question, is Tuesday, September 1st. That's your session. We’re looking at a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a solid 16-second period, coming right out of the south which is what this exposed reef wants to see. The combined energy is a moderate 424, so there's some good push. Arguineguin is a beginner-friendly reef, but it can get crowded, so expect some company. The winds are NE at 15 km/h and offshore, keeping the surface slick. The morning report says "gentle offshore and clean" – that's exactly what you want to hear. It’s a fun size for a longboard, not too big, not too small.
After that Tuesday, it fades fast. Wednesday the 2nd hangs on with some 2ft leftovers, but the wind swings cross-off. By Thursday the 3rd we're back to tiny waves, and the whole second week is just weak, small surf and poor conditions. No other days get a real nod. So, mark your calendar for the 1st of September – it's a short window, but it's the best we've got.
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.
