Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arguineguin over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is: Arguineguin is looking dead flat for the next 16 days. This reef break is inconsistent by nature, and we’re in the middle of a dry spell. The combined wave energy is tiny – the highest we see is 82, which is still weak. Swell direction is mostly SSW, which is close to the optimum S, but heights are pathetic: the best we get is 1ft (0.4m) on a couple of mornings. That’s not enough to surf.
Monday, July 20, has 1ft of SSW swell with a 15‑second period – long‑period groundswell, but at that size it’s just a bump. Wind is cross‑off from the north, clean but not glassy. The report says “poor surf conditions” – score 0. Tuesday, July 21, is the best of a bad lot: 1ft, 13‑second period, and the comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” with a score of 1. Still, it’s tiny. After that, it’s all 0.7‑1.0ft (0.2‑0.3m) with periods between 11‑16 seconds, all marked “poor surf conditions”. There’s a glassy moment on July 27 with 0.3ft from the south – that’s flat. The few days at the end (August 3‑4) bring back 1ft, but again “ordinary” at best.
Because the swell never reaches 2ft, it’s not too big for anyone, but it’s too small for anyone. The reef is inconsistent, so this kind of extended flatness is normal for the area. The wind is mostly cross‑off, not ideal offshore, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no wave. For beginners, there’s nothing to learn on. For everyone else, it’s a waste of time. The combined energy is weak, and the long period only makes the lack of size more obvious.
So, there are no good surf options in this 16‑day window. It’s a blank run – and for Arguineguin, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath. Rusty out.

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.
