The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the start of this period is a bit of a flat spell. We’re looking at a real quiet run from now until the end of the month, with hardly any energy to speak of. The water’s sitting at a warm 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just keen for a paddle.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 30th of August. Arguineguin will see a tiny pulse of swell, around 1ft, with a super long period from the SSW. The combined energy is weak (98) and the conditions are described as "very ordinary." The wind is glassy in the morning, which is a positive, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. This limp feeling continues through Monday the 31st, with similar size and only moderate energy (187). It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but you won’t be missing much.
Now, Tuesday the 1st of September is the one true standout in this whole outlook. The swell bumps up to a clean 3ft from the SSW, and the period is a long 16 seconds. This is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy climbs to a strong 357, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. The break is a reef setup, which is ideal for that long-period swell, and the fact it’s inconsistent means when a set does roll through, you might have it to yourself, though be aware of possible crowds. This is the pick of the fortnight, without a doubt. The morning session will be best.
After that, it fades again. Wednesday the 2nd drops back to 2ft, and by Thursday the 3rd it’s petering out. From Friday the 4th of September right through to the end of the forecast on the 10th, we’re back to tiny, weak waves and poor surf. The energy values drop into the single digits, and the swell direction swings all over the place. It’s a long, flat finish.
So, bottom line: it’s a slow start, a standout day on the 1st of September at Arguineguin, and then a long flat spell to close it out. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of it.
Rusty.

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.
