The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – if you’re looking for a proper surf, this run is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. There’s nothing that’s even close to a rideable wave. The numbers are tiny, just 0.3ft to 1ft at best, with hardly any energy behind it. The combined energy barely gets above 50 (moderate) on a couple of days, and that’s still not enough to push a decent wave. This is a blank run, and for a spot like this, it’s not unusual – sometimes the ocean just shuts down.
Right now, on Tuesday the 28th of July, it’s glassy but the swell is a measly 0.3ft from the south. The water is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s calm, but there’s no surf to enjoy it.
Through the rest of July and into August, it’s the same story. Wednesday the 29th stays tiny with clean conditions but no power. Thursday the 30th sees a slight bump to 0.7ft with a short-period 5-second easterly, but that’s just a ripple. Friday the 31st has a glassy moment in the afternoon with a 0.3ft, 16-second groundswell, but the energy is only 10 (weak) – a ghost swell.
The first week of August doesn’t improve. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd bring a little more push, up to 1.0ft from the SSW, with the energy creeping into the 30s and 40s, but it’s still tiny. The winds are light and cross-shore, so it’s clean but totally flat. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are the same – 1ft from the SSW, energy up to 50 (moderate) and 68 (moderate), but that’s still not enough to surf. Thursday the 6th through to the end of the run on Wednesday the 12th of August stays flat, with nothing over 1.0ft and energy dropping back to single digits.
Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The best I can say is the conditions are often clean, but there’s no wave to ride. If you want to get wet, you’d be better off with a paddleboard.
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.
