Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arguineguin over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this isn’t a shout-from-the-rooftops forecast. The overall pattern is one of small, drawn-out south swells and very light winds, so we’re looking at a period of mellow, clean conditions rather than any sort of power. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no big surprises there.
The first real nod comes on Saturday morning, 11 July. Arguineguin is the only game in town, and it’s a tricky one. This is a reef setup that’s inconsistent and only breaks rarely, so when it does work, you’ve got to be on it. Saturday morning we’ve got a glassy, calm sea with a 1ft SSW swell arriving with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s classic groundswell, full of energy (combined energy of 217) and that long period means the waves will have shape and push, but at a beach break it can be a bit too straight. At a reef like this, it’s a good match. The energy is moderate, but the size is small – perfect for beginners, because it’s not over 5ft. The wind is dead calm, glass, so it’ll be as clean as it gets. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.
The next standout worth mentioning is Sunday morning, 12 July. Again, Arguineguin. The swell bumps up a touch to 2ft, still from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is up to 246, so the water is moving. Winds are light and cross-off from the north, so the face will be clean. It’s still small, still beginner-friendly, but the consistency is more of a whisper than a roar. The rest of the week, from Monday through to the following weekend, is a dribble of the same: 1ft to 2ft, very long to long periods, but with energy dropping off and conditions described as “very ordinary.”
Looking further out, Monday morning, 20 July and Monday afternoon, 20 July offer a sliver of hope. The swell is still tiny at 1ft, but the wind goes glassy calm from the SSE, and the combined energy is a weak 82 and 85. The period drops to 14 seconds, so less grunt. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it. After that, the 21st through the 24th are filled with poor surf conditions and very low energy. The gap in any real recommendation stretches from the 21st all the way to the end of the period.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Saturday morning, 11 July at Arguineguin. That’s your window. Glassy, long-period groundswell, small but clean, and the reef will handle the long period better than a beach. After that, it’s a long, quiet spell. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, grab that Saturday session.
Rusty.

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.
