The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at the charts and it's a bit of a flat spell we're in. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There's no proper surf on offer until the very end, and even then it's barely a whisper. We're looking at a long, dry run from now all the way through to the beginning of August. The only spot that ever gets a mention is Arguineguin, a reef break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a proper test of patience.
The first real sign of life, if you can call it that, shows up on Sunday, the 2nd of August. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. We see a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell starting to trickle in, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is still weak, just 35 (moderate wave energy). Conditions do look promising though – glassy winds in the morning and a light breeze in the afternoon. It's clean, but the wave height is tiny.
Monday the 3rd of August is the best of a very poor bunch. The swell nudges up to 1ft from the SSW, still with that 13-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 55 (moderate wave energy). The wind is forecast to be glassy all day, which is a major positive. The water will be like a mirror. For a longboard or a foiler, you might snag a few little runners. But don't expect any power.
After that, we're back to the same old story. The swell drops again, with heights of 0.7ft and 1ft through to the 7th of August. The winds stay mostly light and cross-off or glassy, so it's not messy, just flat. There's no stand-out day here, no real swell to get excited about. The only thing that keeps the hope alive is that the wind is often light, meaning if any swell did show up, it would be clean. For now, it's a waiting game.
A blank run like this is a bit of a downer, but it's not unheard of for this area during summer. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but don't go planning a trip around it.
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.
