The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Arguineguin over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. The swell just isn’t showing up. We’re looking at a long dry spell with practically no rideable surf on the horizon. The forecast has us starting on Wednesday the 29th of July, and right through until the end of the period on the 13th of August, the wave heights barely tickle 1 ft. The combined swell energy never cracks three digits, mostly sitting in the weak range between 5 and 56 – that’s hardly a pulse. There’s a gap of many days here with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Arguineguin itself, a reef setup that’s rated for beginners. But don’t get your hopes up. The break is inconsistent, and given the tiny swell we’re looking at, it’s not going to do much. The optimum swell direction is from the south, and we do get some whispers of SSW swell, but the height is just too small to make anything of it. Periods range from 9 to 15 seconds, which for a reef could punch above its weight if there was any size, but at 0.3 ft to 1 ft, it’s like trying to surf a ripple.
Wind-wise, there are some nice moments. The afternoon of the 29th and the 1st of August have glassy conditions, and there are periods of offshore and cross-off winds – clean and pretty to look at, but without any bump to push you down the line, it’s just a nice day at the beach. Water temp is sitting at about 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a pleasant float, but that’s all it’ll be.
Since the swell is nonexistent and it’s a reef set-up, there’s nothing here for kite surfing either. This is just a flat spell. The area can go through blank runs like this – it’s not unusual. Don’t let it get you down; forecasts can change.
Stay patient,
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.
