The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window where the surf is basically flat. There’s a long gap here with no real recommendations. The first record kicks off on Thursday, 23 July, but don’t get your hopes up.
Arguineguin (a reef set-up) is our only option, and it’s inconsistent as it gets. The swell is tiny, just 1 ft from the SSW with a 12-second period – that’s a long period for such a small wave, which usually means better shape, but there’s barely any energy behind it. The combined energy is a weak 36. Water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
That Thursday morning, it’s clear skies with a light NNE breeze at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore. The waves are clean but basically non-existent. Thursday afternoon and Friday are much the same – 0.7 ft to 1 ft, cross-off winds, still poor surf. The weekend into next week doesn’t improve. Saturday, Sunday, Monday… the swell barely changes, staying between 0.3 ft and 1 ft.
We do get a couple of glassy moments on Monday, 27 July, with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the NW and WNW, but the swell is so small you’d be fighting for a ripple. The combined energy drops to single digits and teens. It’s pretty grim.
The second week runs the same story. We’ve got a few days around 02-03 August where the swell ticks up to 1 ft from the SSW, with periods around 12 seconds and energy creeping up to 54. The winds are glassy or light offshore, which would be lovely if there was any wave to ride. But 1 ft is barely a knee-high dribble, even for a beginner reef. That said, because it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, any tiny bump is a rare event, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, those early August mornings might be your best bet.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The area just doesn’t have any juice in the 16-day window. It’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing. With the swell so small, light winds, and a beach-reef setup, it might actually look more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a shortboard. But forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty, signing off.
