The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a nice little pulse of groundswell arriving right now, and the first few days are looking like the only real window to get wet. The swell is a touch on the small side, but the conditions are going to be so clean you’ll be kicking yourself if you miss it. After that, we’re looking at a long, flat spell that stretches out for over a week, before a little bump of energy tries to show up right at the end of the period.

The standout here is hands down Arguineguin first thing Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. It’s glassy, not a breath of wind, and that 3ft SSW swell is rolling in with a very long 16-second period. The combined wave energy is sitting at 280 (moderate), and with that kind of period, it’s going to be lined up and full of push. It’s a reef break, so it’s not for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the best the forecast has to offer. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Wednesday afternoon stays glassy with a 2ft, 15-second SSW swell (228 energy). Still clean, still decent. Thursday morning, the 20th, keeps it clean with a 3ft, 14-second SSW swell (261 energy) and glassy conditions. Thursday afternoon has a light cross-offshore breeze, but the wave quality holds up. Friday the 21st is also on the cards, with the morning a little cross-off but clean, and the afternoon turning glassy again on a 2ft, 14-second SSW swell.

After Saturday the 22nd, the wheels fall off. The swell drops below 2ft, the energy crashes down into double digits, and the conditions get messy or just too small. From Sunday the 23rd all the way through to Saturday the 29th of August, it’s a proper dead zone. Nothing worth paddling out for.

Then on Sunday the 30th of August, there’s a flicker of life. The morning shows a 1.0ft, 17-second SSW swell (77 energy), but it’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The period is very long, but the size is tiny. It’s not exactly pumping, but it’s a sign that the ocean hasn’t completely shut down. Monday the 31st of August has a little more size, with a 2ft, 15-second SSW swell (125 energy) and clean offshore winds, but again, it’s not a standout. The first few days of September trickle along with small, marginal surf.

So, to wrap it up: get out Wednesday or Thursday this week. That’s the gold. After that, the boards might as well stay in the bag until the very end of the month, and even then, keep your expectations low.

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.
