The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this spot.
Honestly, for the next week and a half or so, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell at Arguineguin. There’s a big gap before anything really gets going. The first few days are all glassy and clean, but with barely a ripple—swell heights are down around 0.3ft to 0.7ft and the combined energy is next to nothing, like 2 to 27 (weak). It’s beautiful weather for a tan, but not for a surf.
We start to see a slight pulse around Wednesday the 16th of September. The swell picks up a little to 1ft from the SSW with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, but the energy is still low at 85 (weak). The wind is glassy in the morning, turning cross-off in the afternoon, so the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temperature is about 75°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
That little pulse hangs around for a few days. By Sunday the 20th of September, we get a slightly better push. The morning swell is 1ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and the combined energy hits 112 (moderate). That’s the best we’re going to see in this window. It’s glassy in the morning, and the water is calm. The waves are still small, but there’s a bit more oomph behind them. The 15-second period means it’s a groundswell, so it’ll offer some shape, but it’s still a beginner-friendly size.
After that, it fades back down. The 21st and 22nd see the swell holding around 1ft to 1ft, but the energy drops off again. The wind stays clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
So, the standout here is the morning of Sunday the 20th of September. It’s the only day with moderate energy and glassy conditions. The rest is a long, drawn-out lull. If you’re keen, that’s your window, but keep your expectations in check.
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.
