The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and sit down. Rusty here, and I’m looking at the charts for the Arguineguin area. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start.
We’ve got a real dry spell ahead. From now, right through to the middle of the month, there’s nothing doing. We’re looking at a gap of nearly 11 days of flat, or near-flat, conditions. Sure, the water temp is sitting at a very pleasant 75°, about one degree Fahrenheit warmer than usual for this time of year, which would be lovely if there was a wave to enjoy it in.
Things finally start to breathe on the morning of Monday, 16th September. We get a small pulse of 1ft SSW swell creeping in. The combined energy is weak at just 76, so we’re not talking about anything exciting. By the afternoon of the 16th, the energy ticks up to 107, with the swell holding at 1ft from the SSW, and the period is a nice long 16 seconds. The wind is dead calm – glassy as a mirror. The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s about the size of it.
If I had to pick a standout – and I’m reaching here – it’s that window on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th September. On Thursday morning, the swell is 1ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and combined energy at 81. The wind stays glassy from the ENE. It’s a reef break (Arguineguin) and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient, but that light offshore/glass will make it look clean. Crowds are possible here.
The biggest bump we see is on Sunday 20th September morning, with the swell nudging 2ft from the SSW, a 15-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 139 – that’s moderate energy finally. Glassy winds. It’s still just “surfable but ordinary,” though, so don’t be booking the day off work just yet. By the afternoon the wind swings onshore from the SW, which will mess up that clean face.
Overall, it’s a long quiet stretch before some tiny, clean, but very forgettable waves show up mid-to-late week. If you’re desperate for a paddle and have a longboard, the 16th to the 20th has your name on it, but it’s not one for the highlight reel.
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.

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.
