The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Arguineguin.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it's a bit of a write-off. We're seeing a lot of days with next to nothing in the water. The swell energy is barely registering, with readings as low as 2 (combined energy of all swells directed here). From now until about the 1st of August, you're looking at tiny, weak waves – about 0.3ft to 0.7ft – and it's just not going to be worth paddling out for. The wind is light and often clean or glassy, which is a shame because the conditions would be nice if there was any swell to work with.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the 2nd of August. We start to see a little pulse from the SSW. The Sunday morning (2nd August) is a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, but the afternoon is where it gets interesting. The wind goes totally glassy – calm, 0 km/h – and the swell bumps up to a clean 1ft from the SSW with a 13-second period (combined energy of all swells directed here 48). That's a long-period groundswell, which means it will have some shape and push for its size. It's still tiny, but for a sneaky longboard session, that's the best on offer.
The stand-out, however, is the following week. Keep your eyes on Tuesday the 5th of August. The morning session looks clean with a 1ft SSW swell and a 13-second period (combined energy of all swells directed here 36). The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 15 km/h, which will keep the surface nice and clean. It's still small, so grab a log. The wind holds for the afternoon too, so there's a chance at a few little peelers.
Later in the forecast, the afternoon of Friday the 7th of August is another one to watch. The wind goes dead calm and glassy, with a 1ft SSW swell at 13 seconds (combined energy of all swells directed here 47). Conditions will be perfect for the tiny waves on offer.
So, to sum it up: the first ten days are a flat spell. The best windows are the glassy afternoon of the 2nd of August and the clean, offshore morning of the 5th of August. It's not going to be a world-beater, but for a quiet session on a log, you could do a lot worse.
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. 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.
