Alright, Rusty here, looking at the Arguineguin forecast for the coming weeks.

First up, the big picture: we’re in for a long run of small, clean waves. No major swells on the horizon, but there are some good moments for a log or a fun mid-length. The standout day is this Sunday, 12 July morning. That’s the best we’re going to see.

We kick off on Sunday, 12 July morning at Arguineguin (reef). The water temp is about average for the time of year, nice and comfortable. We’ve got a long-period groundswell coming from the SSW at 2 ft with a period of 18 seconds – that’s a very long period, and at a reef break, those long lines will wrap in nicely and offer some shape. The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, so the surface will be smooth as a mirror. The combined wave energy is moderate (246). This is the pick of the fortnight, no doubt. Expect a few others with boards out, as crowds are sometimes an issue here, but for those clean, waist-high runners, it’ll be worth sharing the water.

Sunday afternoon the swell drops a touch to 1 ft, still glassy, but the energy falls to 163 (moderate). Surfable, but the morning was better.

Monday, 13 July sees the swell holding at 2 ft in the morning with 16-second period and a clean cross-off breeze from the east. The energy is moderate (193). It’s not bad, but not the same quality as Sunday's glass. The afternoon goes glassy again, but the period drops to 15 seconds and wave energy falls to 149. Still grovel-able.

Tuesday, 14 July continues the theme: 2 ft SSW swell, moderate energy, glassy conditions through the afternoon. The morning is glassy too with an ENE breeze. The waves are there, just small and lacking punch. Still, a longboarder’s dream.

By Wednesday, 15 July, the swell drops to 1.0 ft. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy is weak (60). The afternoon is glassy but the period is down to 12 seconds and the energy is very low (36). We’re into poor surf territory now.

From Thursday, 16 July right through to Saturday, 25 July, there’s a real dry spell. The swell bottoms out at 0.7 ft, sometimes 1.0 ft, with weak to very weak energy and periods that vary wildly. Most days feature clean conditions or glassy mornings, but with no wave height, you’re looking at flat, glassy water. The one small blip is Friday, 17 July afternoon where a 1.0 ft swell with a 19-second period and light air bumps the energy to 102 (moderate). Very long period for tiny waves will mean occasional little knee-high lines. Not worth the drive unless you’re desperate. There’s a gap of almost 10 days with no real recommendation here.

Saturday, 18 July morning offers a glassy 1.0 ft with 18-second period but only 73 energy. It’s clean but tiny.

Sunday, 19 July morning sees 1 ft and 16-second period with glassy conditions (98 energy, moderate). The afternoon turns poor with onshore cross winds and low energy.

From Monday, 20 July onwards we get a slight bump back to 1 ft to 2 ft clean waves through the week, with energy picking up to 125 (moderate) on the Monday afternoon. Tuesday, 21 July morning has 2 ft, 13-second period, and offshore wind from the NNE at 3 mph – clean and punchy for the size, but still only waist-high at best. The energy is 104 (moderate). This is the second-best period of the fortnight, though still well short of that Sunday glass.

After Thursday, 23 July, the wave heights drop away again to 0.7 ft through to the end of the 16 days. The period may look long (16-18 seconds) but with no height and low energy, you’re looking at a flat lake.

In short: The only standout is this coming Sunday, 12 July morning. Everything else is log-level or flat. For a reef break like Arguineguin, the long period swells in the first week will give some shape, but it’s not the kind of setup that’ll stop traffic. If you’ve got a big foamie, you might get a smile, but experts and beginners alike should look at Sunday morning as the only real window.

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.
