Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright crew, Rusty here. It’s looking like a slow stretch coming up at our local spot. We gotta sit through a bunch of tiny, near-flat days before any real juice shows up. Keep the patience up, ‘cause there’s a little window that’s worth marking on the calendar.
The water’s sitting right around 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no weird temperature surprises.
Right now and for the next few days, it’s real weak. The combined swell energy is stuck in the low double digits (34), with wave heights barely reaching 0.7ft. That’s a long-period groundswell from the SSW (18 seconds), but with no push behind it, it’s useless. We get some glassy windows Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, but the waves are just too small to bother with. Honestly, leave the board at home.
This pattern of tiny swells with energy in the 30-70 range keeps up until Friday the 10th. We see “surfable but very ordinary” conditions by Friday morning, but we’re still only looking at 1ft waves. The energy climbs a bit (71), but it’s still not enough to get the heart pumping.
The first real sign of life hits Saturday the 11th. The combined swell energy jumps to 222, and the wave height lifts to 1ft early. That’s still small, but the conditions will be perfect. Saturday morning at Arguineguin looks glassy, with that same SSW swell running a long 19-second period. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be flat as a pond. This is our first standout, but you’ll want a longboard or a big fish. The energy is moderate, and those 1ft waves aren’t going to throw any barrels, but you won’t be staring at a mirror.
Sunday the 12th morning brings another little bump. The combined energy hits 246, with 2ft of SSW swell at 18 seconds. It’s glassy again first thing. This is the other real highlight of the outlook. The water will be buttery, and the sets will be long and clean. It’s still a small-wave day, but if you’ve got a log, this weekend is the time to paddle out. The swell direction lines up with what the spot likes best. Just remember, this break is inconsistent, so you might have to sit and wait for the good ones.
Come Monday the 13th, we slide back into that “ordinary” zone. The swell holds at 2ft with moderate energy (173), and the winds stay clean or light offshore, but the magic of that glass-off is gone. It’s just a run of average, knee-high days. By Wednesday the 15th, the energy drops back into the 30s, and we’re right back to poor surf.
Into the second week, it gets even smaller. Around the 16th and 17th, the energy is barely in the double digits, and the swell direction gets messy. There’s a spike in period on the 17th (20 seconds), but the height is only 0.7ft, so it’s a ghost swell.
So here’s the takeaway: the first week is mostly flat, the weekend of the 11th and 12th is your best bet for the cleanest, most rideable small waves, and then it fades back to nothing. Don’t expect much beyond that.
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.
