The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the coming weeks for this spot.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch on the whole. We’ve got a tiny window of clean, rideable waves right at the start, and then it’s a long, long dry spell with hardly any energy for the rest of the 16 days. The first couple of mornings are your best bet, but after that, you’re looking at a solid week and a half of flat to near-flat conditions.
Right out of the gate, Wednesday morning the 2nd of September is the pick of the bunch. Arguineguin is a reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, but it'll be working. We’ve got a 2ft SSW swell with a long period of 14 seconds – proper groundswell – and combined energy reading 213 (moderate). That longer period will give it shape, though it can make beach breaks a bit shifty; on a reef point it’ll be lined up nicely. Water temp is 75°, which is 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so a little unusual and pleasant. The wind is a light 6 mph from the N, cross-off, keeping things clean. This break is for beginners, but with crowds listed as "sometimes", you might have company. That’s the standout; the waves are small but glassy and clean.
Thursday morning the 3rd, the swell drops to 2ft, 13 seconds, energy down to 99 (weak). The wind goes glassy from the NNE at just 3 mph – dead clean. Still surfable for a learner on a longboard, but it’s getting marginal.
Thursday afternoon the 3rd, and it’s even smaller: 1ft, 13 seconds, energy 66. Glassy again from the ENE, but the waves are barely there.
From Friday the 4th onwards, it’s a downhill slide. Friday morning has 1ft with a short period of 12 seconds and energy of just 47 – that’s weak. We get a bit of glass early, but the quality is poor. Friday afternoon and Saturday the 5th drop to 1.0ft and then 0.7ft with energy in the teens and single digits. By Sunday the 6th, it’s 0.3ft to flat with moderate wind. From Monday the 7th right through to Thursday the 17th of September, nearly every slot shows "poor surf conditions" with combined energy mostly under 30. You’ll see zeros and barely a ripple. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 9th with a 0.7ft, 16-second swell giving 26 energy but it’s glassy – still too small to surf. After that, flat spells dominate.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got one solid morning on Wednesday the 2nd with clean waist-high waves for the beginners, and maybe a glassy Thursday for a longboard if you’re desperate. After that, it’s a long gap of 13 or 14 days with next to nothing. A blank run like this is not unheard of for this area when the swell window is closed. The first Wednesday morning is the only true standout.
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.
