The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same 16-day window for Arguineguin, but in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a quiet stretch. The first week is mostly flat and unsurfable, so don’t rush to the water. The first real chance to get a wave doesn’t come until Wednesday, September 16th. Even then, it’s small and ordinary.
On Wednesday, September 16th morning, we’re looking at a tiny 1.0 ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period. Wind is offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so the surface is clean. The combined energy is weak, at 77. By the afternoon, the swell picks up to 1 ft, still from the SSW, period still 16 seconds, and the energy climbs to 118 (moderate). Wind shifts to a cross-off from the N at 6 mph, keeping it clean. This is the best we’ve got, but it’s still pretty ordinary.
Thursday, September 17th keeps the same vibe. 1 ft SSW swell, period drops to 14 seconds. The morning has cross-off wind from the N at 9 mph, and the afternoon brings a stronger offshore from the NNE at 15 mph. Energy is moderate, around 80-83. For the dedicated surfer, it’s the pick of the week.
The rest of the period from Friday, September 18th onward falls back into poor surf conditions. Swell stays tiny, periods drop to 11-12 seconds, and energy barely registers. Wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, so it’s clean, but there’s no push.
The standout is Arguineguin itself, a reef break exposed to the south, and it’s inconsistent. Water temp is about 75°F, average for this time of year. The best session will be Wednesday, September 16th afternoon with that 1 ft SSW groundswell (16-second period) and clean cross-off wind. The long period should help the reef shape up a little, but it’s tiny. For beginners, it’s safe. For experts, nothing to get excited about. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue, but on these tiny days, it’ll be quiet.
There’s a big gap of no recommendations from the start through September 15th, and another gap after the 17th. So, it’s a two-day window of surfable, but very ordinary, conditions. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s flat. Not great for paddle surfing, but kite surfers might enjoy the light winds and small, clean conditions.
Hang tight, and hope for a change.
Rusty.

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.

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.
