The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got Arguineguin on the radar, but honestly, it’s a bit of a tough watch.
The overall pattern is flat and quiet. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell that’s barely going to put a ripple in the water. There’s a real gap here for most of the period, so don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable just yet.
The only real blip on the board comes on Thursday, the 3rd of September. The morning is your best bet, with a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, holding a long 13-second period. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which is a major positive. The water is sitting at 76°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll be able to get a few fun little waves, but the combined energy is only 98, so we’re talking weak, soft rollers. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon sees a light cross-off breeze, keeping the surface clean on the 1ft swell, but it’s still not much to write home about.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Friday, the 4th of September, right through to the end of the forecast, conditions are described as “poor.” The swell drops to 1.0ft, then 0.7ft, and even disappears altogether. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, so the ocean will look pretty, but there’s no power behind it. The combined energy drops into the single digits and low twenties, confirming it’s just too weak to paddle for.
The break itself is an inconsistent reef, so we’re not surprised to see such a blank run. It’s normal for this area to go quiet when the swell window closes. For kitesurfers, the setup might look more interesting than for us paddle surfers, but that’s about it.
Look, the forecasts can change, but right now, the only window is that Thursday morning. Get out early if you’re desperate for a paddle, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.

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.
