Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Arguineguin. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a window of hope if you’re patient.

Overall, we’re looking at a long, quiet patch for the next several days. From now through to the morning of Saturday the 16th, it’s a write-off. Tiny, weak, and basically unsurfable. The swell energy is minimal, with combined energy values barely reaching double digits (14) early on. You’d be wasting your time.

The first real sign of life shows up on Sunday morning the 16th. We get a little bump – 1ft from the SSW with a long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 119. The wind goes glassy, so the surface will be like a mirror. It’s still pretty small and ordinary, but it’s a step in the right direction.

The standout period really kicks off on Sunday afternoon the 16th and into Monday the 17th. The swell builds to 2ft, then 3ft, still from the SSW. The period hangs around 15 to 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, with long, clean lines. Combined energy hits a solid 278 on Monday morning. Winds go glassy or very light offshore (NE). This is your best bet. For a reef break like Arguineguin, a long-period SSW swell like this is perfect, giving nice, peeling waves. The water temp is doing its thing, nothing unusual for this time of year. Just be aware that this spot can be inconsistent, and when there’s a pulse, crowds are sometimes an issue.

After that peak, the size backs off a bit through the middle of the week, with 2ft to 2ft on offer from the 18th to the 20th. Winds stay mostly clean, with a few light offshores. The energy stays moderate (in the 150 to 255 range), so there will still be fun waves to be had, but nothing like that pumped Sunday-Monday window.

Things start to dribble away again from the 21st onwards. The swell fades, the energy drops back into the double digits by the 25th, and we’re pretty much back to square one. If you’re free, make the most of that Sunday 16th through to Thursday 20th – that’s the sweet spot.

Rusty.
