The Lowdown
Right. Grab a coffee, ’cause we’ve got a bit of a wait before anything really gets going here.
Alright, let’s talk about Arguineguin, a reef set-up that usually needs a good blow from the south to show its teeth. The next week and a half is mostly a flat spell. We’re looking at a big gap from now until Monday the 31st of August with really nothing to write home about – tiny 0.7ft to 1ft waves with almost no energy in the water (combined energy between 10 and 58). The wind will be light and often glassy or clean, which is a tease because there’s just no swell to work with. You’d be better off swimming.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday morning the 31st of August. We see a jump in energy to 184 with a 2ft swell from the SSW, period stretching out to 15 seconds. It’s a very long-period groundswell, which for this reef should actually help shape things up nicely. The wind is forecast to be glassy in the morning, which is a massive bonus. This is our first standout. It’s not huge, but for the conditions we’ve had, it’s a beautiful, clean little window.
Things build from there. Tuesday the 1st of September looks even better. Morning sees 2ft at 16 seconds with clean, cross-offshore winds, and the afternoon picks up to 3ft at that same long 16-second period, with clean offshore breezes. Energy bumps up to 344. This is the best of the whole outlook. The swell direction is right on the money for this spot, and the wind is perfect. It’s going to be a proper little session.
After that, the swell hangs on for a couple of days but gets smaller and a bit wind-affected by Wednesday afternoon, with a 16 mph cross-offshore breeze making things choppier. By the end of the first week of September, we’re dropping back into the doldrums.
So, the call is this: you wait it out for a solid week. The standout is Tuesday the 1st of September for the best combination of size, that long-period energy, and clean wind. The reef will really focus that swell. Expect some company though – crowds are sometimes an issue here. The water temperature feels about what you’d expect for this time of year.

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.

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.
