The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in on the swell window down at Arguineguin.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. We’re lookin’ at the next few days with practically nothin’. The first real pulse of energy worth paddlin’ for doesn’t show up until the weekend. There’s a long gap of quiet, flat water until then.
Thursday and Friday of this week are a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy is pathetic, readin’ between 8 and 34 (weak energy). Don’t even bother. You’d spend more time sittin’ on your board than anythin’ else.
Things start to twitch on Saturday, the 15th of August. We see a slight jump in swell height, up to about 1ft, from the SSW with a long period of 17 seconds. The combined swell energy hits 65 (moderate energy) but conditions are described as very ordinary. Still, it’s the first sign of life.
The standout, and the one to put a pin in, is Monday the 17th of August. The morning session is where it's at. We’ve got a clean 3ft of SSW swell, period of 16 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph. It’s glassy clean, with the combined swell energy climbin’ to 292 (moderate energy). That’s the best-lookin’ offering in the entire forecast window. Arguineguin itself is a reef break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. Keep in mind, this break is inconsistent and the crowd factor is listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few friends out there, but it won’t be packed.
The followin' week shows some smaller, cleaner mornings, especially Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st of August, with 2ft and 3ft of SSW swell respectively. The wind is calm or glassy, makin' for some clean, small waves, but the energy levels are back down to moderate (285 and 235). It’s fun for a longboard or a fish, but nothin’ compared to that Monday pulse.
After that, it tapers off into the last week. Sunday the 23rd through Wednesday the 26th sees the swell drop back to a paltry 0.7ft to 1ft with weak energy. We’re back to the flat spell.
So, to wrap it up: you wait through the week, get a glimmer over the weekend, and then the real call is Monday mornin’, the 17th of August. That’s your window at Arguineguin. Get on it.
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.
