Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arguineguin over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. Arguineguin (reef) is looking flat for the next 16 days. We’ve got a tiny bit of swell from the SSW, but it’s weak and inconsistent. The combined swell energy is pathetically low, barely hitting 20 to 102 (moderate) early on, then dropping to single digits. Not enough to get your heart racing.
From Friday the 17th all the way through to the end of the month, wave heights are mostly 0.7ft to 2ft. The direction is mostly SSW, which is what the spot likes, but the energy is just not there. The best chance is Sunday the 19th morning: a 1ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions from the NNE. That’s the best of a bad lot, and it’s still only “surfable but very ordinary.” Water temp is about normal for the time of year.
After that, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. Monday the 20th through Friday the 31st sees the swell drop to 0.7ft to 1ft, with periods all over the place – some short and weak, some longer but with no height. Wind is mostly cross-offshore or light, so the surface is clean, but there’s no wave to ride. A couple of glassy mornings on the 29th and 30th, but with 0.3ft of swell, it’s a pond.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 19th morning. Clean, glassy, 1ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. It’s tiny, but for a beginner or a longboarder, it might be worth a look. The reef is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so this is a rare moment. But don’t get your hopes up.
If you’re into kite surfing, the afternoons with a bit of cross-off wind and clean, small waves might be more interesting than a paddle session. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but for now, this area is flat.

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.
