Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it. I'm lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're not talkin' about a few flat days; we're lookin' at a proper dry spell that runs from now all the way through to the end of the month. The first real whisper of a wave doesn't show up until Tuesday the 14th, and even then, it's a tease.

So, your best bet – and really, the only place that even gets a nod – is Arguineguin. It's a reef setup, so it needs a bit of juice to work, but it's inconsistent, so don't expect a session every day. The water's sitting at a warm 73°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.

The highlight, if you can call it that, is Tuesday morning, July 14th. We've got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds. That's a long period for such a small wave, so it'll have a bit more push than the number suggests. The combined energy is a weak 145, so don't be fooled, but the wind is glassy from the NE. That's the key – it'll be clean, even if it's small. It's a beginner-friendly wave at that size, but the crowds are a "sometimes" thing, so you might have some company for those ankle-biters.

The rest of the week is a slow slide into smaller and smaller stuff. Wednesday morning, July 15th, has a 1ft SSW swell at 13 seconds and glassy conditions, but the energy drops to 62. Thursday and Friday are basically flat with cross-offshore winds. The weekend of the 18th and 19th sees a slight bump to 1ft, with the energy just tipping into triple digits at 105 on Sunday morning, but the wind is cross-off. It's surfable, but it's ordinary.

After that, it's a flat-out desert. From the 20th of July all the way through the 29th, we're looking at swell heights of 0.6ft or less, with energy numbers in the single digits and teens. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, but it doesn't matter when there's nothing to ride. The swell direction even swings around to the east, which is not the optimum south swell this spot wants.

Honestly, for this stretch, if you're a paddle surfer, you're better off doing something else. The setup could look more interesting for a kite surfer on a few of those windier days, but for a proper wave, it's a no-go.

Rusty, signing off.
