The Lowdown
Alright, gang. Rusty here. Looking at the Arguineguin stretch, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s dead flat. The whole 16-day outlook is a total bummer for surf. The first record is from the 30th of July, and it’s all tiny.
We’re talking swell heights from 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with combined energy that never gets out of the weak range (single digits and twenties). The swell direction is from the SSW, and the period bounces around, but it doesn’t matter when the size is gone. The water on the 30th is a touch warmer than usual at 74°F.
From Thursday the 30th of July right through the weekend, it’s “poor surf conditions.” The wind is light and cross-off mostly, but that’s just cleaning up a puddle. There’s a glassy moment on Friday afternoon, 31st July, with a 1.0 ft bump from the east, but it’s still a waste of time. The next week, from the 3rd of August, the energy bumps up a little, and the period gets into the 12-13 second range, which is a hint of some groundswell, but the height stays stuck at 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The 10th of August has a glassy morning, but it’s still 0.7 ft.
The 13th and 14th of August show a little life with the energy hitting 34, but it’s the same story: 0.7 ft at 13 seconds. It’s clean, but you can’t surf air. The offshore wind on the 4th of August morning is a cruel tease.
This is a full-on flat spell. Arguineguin is an inconsistent reef break, and it’s not breaking at all. Conditions are clean, but there’s nothing to ride. There’s no standout. If you’re kiting, maybe there’s a window, but for a surfer, you’re better off doing something else.
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.
