The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a grim stretch for the first week and a half. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. From Monday the 3rd right through to the end of the week on Sunday the 9th, the swell is tiny, hanging around 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the SSW. The wave energy is weak, barely registering (14 to 56), and the period is decent between 10 and 13 seconds, but there's just not enough push. The wind is offshore or cross-offshore from the north, which would make it clean if there was any wave to ride. It's a frustrating wait.
The blank spell continues right through the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of August. The swell drops to practically nothing – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The energy is pathetic (4 to 18). You’d be better off polishing your board than carrying it down to the water. It’s just not happening.
Finally, on Friday the 14th of August, things start to whisper. A longer period groundswell shows up from the SSW with a period of 20 seconds and a bit more size at 1.0 ft. The combined energy bumps up to 89, which is still weak but at least there's something. The wind is a clean cross-off from the north. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
This poor little pulse hangs around through the weekend. On Saturday the 15th, the swell is 1 ft from the SW with a period of 17 seconds, and Sunday the 16th sees 1 ft from the SW with a 15-second period. The energy is still just moderate (68 to 86). The wind stays clean and cross-off. It's surfable, but honestly, it's very ordinary. For a reef break that’s inconsistent, this tiny window of activity is the only game in town. The best of a bad bunch is probably Friday the 14th with that 20-second period, but it's a real knee-high special.
After that, it fades back to nothing from Monday the 17th onwards. A tough outlook for Arguineguin.
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.

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.
