The Lowdown
Alright, lemme break this down for you.
Honestly, the next 16 days look pretty weak overall. We get a short, good window right at the start and then it’s a desert.
The best call is Arguineguin this week. On Tuesday the 1st, we’ve got some clean, long-period groundswell rolling in from the SSW. It’s only about 3ft, but the period is 16 seconds so there’s proper juice in the water (combined energy of all swells directed here is 424). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. The reef picks up south swell well. It’s an inconsistent spot, so you’ll have to be patient between sets, but the shape should be good. It can get crowded sometimes, so be ready for company. Wednesday the 2nd morning still offers clean 2-3ft SSW swell with a 14-second period (moderate energy at 213), definitely worth a look too.
From Thursday the 3rd, it’s a rapid fade. By the 4th it’s ankle-snappers and dribble, and that flatness holds through to the 16th. That’s almost two weeks of nothing rideable. Even though the wind is often light or glassy, there’s just no swell to push.
So, your only real shot is Tuesday and Wednesday morning this week, with Tuesday as the peak. After that, it’s a long flat spell. Hang loose.

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.
