The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Arguineguin.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start, there’s nothing worth getting wet for this Sunday or Monday. Tuesday the 1st of September, things finally turn on. That’s the standout of the whole run – Tuesday morning is looking proper tidy. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a nice long 17-second period, and the wind is glassy from the NE. That gives us clean, well-shaped waves and easy paddling between sets. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined swell energy is 577 (moderate), so there’s enough push to make it fun without being a handful.
Tuesday afternoon holds up too, with a cross-offshore breeze keeping things clean, but the morning is the pick. Wednesday the 2nd still has some clean leftover swell around 3ft, but by afternoon the wind swings cross-shore and it gets a bit messy.
After that, it fades fast. There’s a proper flat spell from Friday the 4th of September all the way through to Saturday the 12th – hardly anything rideable, just tiny dribbles. For a spot that’s inconsistent to begin with, this kind of blank run is pretty normal, so don’t lose hope.
Then, look here – Sunday the 13th of September we get a second burst. The morning starts glassy again with 2ft SSW groundswell and a very long 18-second period. That’s classic reef-swell material, nice and lined up for the reef break. Energy is moderate at 242, and the wind is dead calm. Monday the 14th keeps it going with 3ft SSW and more glassy conditions. This second window is promising, but being two weeks out, just keep an eye on it.
One last thing – Arguineguin is a reef set-up that rarely breaks, so when it does and the wind’s right, it’s worth making the trip. Tuesday morning the 1st is your best bet, no question. Crowds are possible there sometimes, but on a Tuesday with such clean conditions, it might still be worth the gamble.
Stay stoked,
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.

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.
