The Lowdown
Alright, let me get my head around this. Lookin’ at the charts for Arguineguin here, and honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell we’re staring down over the next 16 days. The swell is tiny—mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft—and while the wind is often light or offshore, even glassy at times, there just isn’t enough push in the water to get excited about.
That said, there’s one little window that might get the heart beating just a touch faster. Come Friday afternoon, the 17th of July, we see a small bump to 1.0ft of SSW swell but the period jumps way up to 19 seconds. That long-period groundswell gives the combined energy a reading of 102 (moderate). It’s still tiny, but with that kind of period, Arguineguin, a reef break that needs a southerly direction, could actually shape up a few fun little waves. The wind will be a light cross-off from the NNW, meaning clean faces. The crowd factor here is listed as *sometimes* busy, so you might have to share, but for a wave that’s *inconsistent*, that’s the price of admission.
Water temp is sitting at about 73°F right now, which is roughly a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year—nothing wild, but nice and pleasant for a paddle.
The Saturday following (18th July) has glassy conditions and 1.0ft but the period drops to 18 seconds, and the energy falls back to 73 (weak). It’s surfable but pretty ordinary. Honestly, nothing else in the whole stretch even comes close. From there, it’s days of tiny swell and not much more to say. There’s a long gap of flatness from the 22nd all the way to the end of the month, with barely a ripple. So if you’re keen, mark that Friday afternoon, the 17th, as your best bet, and keep your expectations small. It’s not a complete blank, but it’s close.
Stay tuned—forecasts can change. Rusty.
