Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arguineguin over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on the surf outlook for Arguineguin.
I’ll level with you – we’ve got a bit of a dry spell ahead. The next two weeks are mostly a waiting game. There’s a solid gap of poor to very ordinary surf from now until Friday, July 11th. After that, the swell tries to stand up but never really puts its weight into it. You’ll see plenty of days where the ocean just looks like a pond.
The one true highlight lands on Saturday, July 12th. We’ve got a glass-calm morning with the swell coming from the SSW, about 2ft, and the period is a proper 18 seconds. That’s long-period groundswell, bringing moderate energy – about 246 in the tank. For a reef break like Arguineguin, that long period is exactly what you want. The waves should peel down the reef with some real shape. The morning is dead calm, so the surface will be butter. It is an inconsistent spot and sometimes the crowd is on it, so set your alarm. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Sunday the 13th is your next best bet. Another glassy morning, same southerly green light at 2ft, with a 16-second period. Still plenty clean, with moderate energy at 173. Not the standout Saturday is, but there will be a ride in it for you.
Then the wheels fall off again. After that, the swell drops back to pathetic little ankle-biters at 0.6-1ft. Even when it gets glassy, there’s just no push. The second week is a flat, dusty stretch. Keep the wax bar close, but don’t hold your breath.
Stay cool, boys. 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.
