Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The whole 16-day stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf, and it’s going to be a real test of patience. The only spot with any real recommendation is Arguineguin, a reef break, but it’s not exactly firing.

The outlook kicks off on Sunday the 13th, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell is just 0.7 ft from the SSW, and the combined energy is a measly 10 (weak energy). The wind is a light cross-shore, but the waves are just too small to bother with. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.

Moving into Monday the 14th, it’s more of the same. Swell stays tiny at 0.7 ft, and the energy is barely there at 20. The wind shifts to a light cross-shore from the WNW, but again, it’s just not enough to get any real shape. The next few days, from Tuesday the 15th through Thursday the 17th, we see a slight bump to 1.0-1 ft, with the combined energy climbing into the 70s and 80s (moderate energy). Winds turn glassy or clean cross-off at times, which would be a big positive if there was any swell to work with. But it’s still just too small to be worthwhile.

By Friday the 18th, the energy starts to drop back down into the 50s, and the swell is still only 1 ft. Saturday the 19th sees the energy fall to 28, with glassy conditions but no real waves. The following days, from Sunday the 20th all the way through to Monday the 28th, the story doesn’t change. Swell sits between 0.3 ft and 1.0 ft, energy is almost always below 60 (weak to very weak), and even when the winds are light or glassy, there’s just nothing to ride. The only slight glimmer is Wednesday the 23rd, where the energy hits 52 with clean cross-off winds, but the swell is only 1.0 ft.

So, the standout here is… well, there isn’t one. This is a flat spell for Arguineguin. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and with no real swell on the horizon, it’s not going to happen. The combined energy never really gets into the three-digit range, and the biggest swell we see is 1 ft. If you’re desperate, the best bet would be the mornings of Wednesday the 16th or Thursday the 17th, when the energy is highest (78 and 81, respectively) and the winds are clean. But even then, it’s a long wait for a knee-high wave.

Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this isn’t that unusual. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
