The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days for Arguineguin are a tough pill to swallow. We’ve got a real flat spell on the horizon, and honestly, the first time we’ll see any wave worth paddling for is a tiny blip on the 1st of August. Before that, we’re looking at a solid 4 days of nothing but tiny, poor surf conditions. It’s a lean run.
The water is sitting at a warm 73°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting there waiting.
The first real sniff of something happens on the morning of Saturday, the 1st of August. We’re talking a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW, but with glassy conditions and a calm wind. The combined wave energy is a weak 23. It’s barely surfable, but it’s the only show in town. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which is classic groundswell – it’ll want to break straight on the beach, so don’t expect any barrels. For a beginner-friendly reef break that’s inconsistent, this is a real non-event.
By Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell bumps up to a tiny 1.0ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period. The energy is still weak, at 37. The wind is glassy again in the afternoon, so it’ll be clean, but it’s still flat. This pattern of tiny, glassy, clean but flat surf continues right through the next week. The combined energy never climbs above 53, and the swell height stays at 1.0ft or 1ft at best.
The standout – if you can call it that – is the stretch from the 2nd to the 5th of August. The swell is a consistent 1.0ft to 1ft from the SSW, and the wind is offshore or glassy. The water is warm, the conditions are clean, but there’s just no punch. It’s a pond. For a beginner, it’s a safe, tiny paddle, but for anyone else, it’s a frustrating wait. The swell direction from the S-SSW is a good match for the break’s optimum, but with the energy so low, it doesn’t matter.
From the 6th of August onward, it drops back to 0.3ft or 0.7ft. The wind stays light and clean, but the swell is gone. The 16-day window is a write-off for any real surf. The only positive is that the conditions are often glassy or clean, so if you’ve got a longboard and you’re desperate, you might get a slide. This is a real test of patience.
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.
