The Lowdown
Now for the imperial version, same story, different numbers.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for our imperial crew.
The next week or so is a bummer – flat as a pancake. From Friday the 21st right through the end of the month, the swell is tiny and the energy is weak. Nothing to get excited about. The water is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The one real standout is Monday the 31st of August. It’s Arguineguin, and it’s got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a solid 295 (moderate wave energy). The wind is on our side – a slight offshore breeze from the NE in the morning, switching to a light cross-off from the NNW in the afternoon. That’ll keep the surface glassy. It’s a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for the sets, but the quality will be there when they show. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so get down early.
Tuesday the 1st of September is a solid follow-up, with that same 3ft SSW swell but a slightly shorter period of 15 seconds. Still a great option. After that, the swell fades off through the first week of September, so grab that Monday and Tuesday window.
So, the call is: a quiet start, then a promising window around the 31st of August and 1st of September. It’s a long-range look, so don’t book the day off just yet, 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.
