The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Arguineguin in feet. The outlook is quiet, real quiet. For the first stretch, we’re looking at almost nothing, so don’t get too excited yet.

Starting Friday the 28th of August, it’s flat. Swell is a tiny 0.7ft from the SSW, with hardly any energy (17). Winds are light, but there’s no wave to ride. Saturday the 29th is glassy but even smaller – 1ft from the east. You could waterski. Sunday the 30th is still small, only 1ft, but the swell direction is SSW with a long 17-second period. The energy is still weak (96). It’s clean with offshore wind in the morning, but it’s a straight-up dribble.

Monday the 31st gets to 2ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period. Energy is climbing a little (187). Morning is clean with cross-offshore wind, but it’s still very ordinary.

Then we get our best window: Tuesday, the 1st of September. Swell jumps to 3ft from the SSW, with a long 16-second period. The combined energy hits 425 – moderate, finally. Winds are light and cross-offshore in the morning. Arguineguin is a reef break, best for beginners, but it’s inconsistent, so you gotta pick your moment. It’ll be clean and actually fun for a few hours. Water temp is 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Wednesday the 2nd drops to 2ft, still good 14-second period and clean in the morning, but the energy is back down to 213.

From Thursday the 3rd onward, it fades fast. Back to 2ft and smaller. Glassy mornings on Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are scenic but offer nothing for surfers. Sunday the 6th is flat at 0.7ft. The entire second week is a bust – tiny, weak, and not worth your time.

So, the one to circle is Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. It’s the only real chance for a clean, rideable wave in this entire 16-day stretch. Get out there early.

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.
