The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a pretty quiet stretch for the Gran Canaria zone. We’re looking at a long, slow start with almost nothing to write home about for the first week. It’s not until the middle of the second week that we finally see a little pulse of energy worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life shows up around Wednesday, September 16th at Arguineguin (Gran Canaria). The morning session is a bit weak, but the afternoon sees the combined swell energy tick up to a moderate level (117). We’re looking at a small 1ft groundswell out of the S-SW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell for a reef break, which is exactly what Arguineguin likes. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze out of the N-NE, so the waves should be clean. It’s small, but it’s the best on offer.
The day that stands out as the best of the whole outlook is Thursday, September 17th. The morning holds a similar 1ft S-SW swell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is still moderate (82). But the real highlight is the afternoon session. The wind drops to a glassy calm, the swell ticks up just a touch to 2ft, and the energy climbs to 118. For a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a true standout. The water is about average for this time of year, so grab a thin suit.
After that little burst, the energy fades back into the poor zone for the rest of the forecast. There are some glassy mornings later on, like Sunday, September 20th, but the swell is just too small at 1.0ft to get excited about. The following Monday morning, September 21st, shows a glimmer with 1ft and glassy conditions, but it’s still very ordinary.
So, in short: wait until the 16th, keep your eyes on the 17th afternoon for the cleanest shot at a few little gems, and then it’s back to the waiting game.
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.
