The Lowdown
Right, gather round, I’m gonna level with you. This is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Arguineguin, and honestly, it’s been a tough stretch. We’ve got a 16-day window here, but for the first ten days or so, it’s a total write-off – tiny, weak little bumps that aren't worth paddling for. We’re looking at a big gap of nothing. The only real light at the end of the tunnel is in the second week, and even then, it’s more about the conditions than the power.
The action starts to look a little more promising from the 14th of August. The real standout is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. We see the swell building to 1ft from the SSW, but the period is a solid 16 seconds – that's a proper groundswell, more energy than the size suggests. The combined energy is up to 58 (moderate), and the wind is glassy, calm as anything. That’s a recipe for clean, glassy waves at Arguineguin (reef). The water is sitting at 73.8°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Monday the 17th of August morning is also a contender. The swell is 1.3ft from the SSW, same long 15-second period, and the energy hits 90. Glassy winds again. It’s not big, it’s not going to get your heart racing, but for a long-period reef setup, the shape will be good and the paddle out will be easy. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but with such small surf, it's perfect for learners.
Later in the week, on the 18th of August, we get a bit more energy – 1.5ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and the combined energy finally breaks into three digits at 106 (moderate). The morning has a light offshore from the north, which will keep it clean. This is the best of the bunch, but still, it’s small. It’s a long-range call, so the promise is there, but don’t book the flight just yet.
The rest of the time is just a flat, clean ocean. The wind is offshore or glassy for most of it, but there’s simply no swell to ride. It’s a frustrating blank run for the area, but it happens. The breaks are inconsistent, so a blank run is more normal here.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that 16th to 18th – that’s your window.

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.
