The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cooking in the water.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak start. We're looking at a solid block of nothing much for a good stretch. The first week or so is basically written off. We've got tiny, weak swells and mostly poor surf conditions. There will be a gap of over a week before anything even remotely gets a pulse. The water temp is sitting at about 75° which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing weird there.
The first real glimmer of something happens around Wednesday the 16th of September. It’s not huge, but the energy’s finally starting to build. By Thursday the 17th, we see a bit of life. The swell is from the SSW, still tiny at 1 ft, but that period is a solid 14 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell. You can feel that energy in the water. The combined swell energy is hitting 81 (moderate wave energy), which is the best we've seen so far. The winds are staying out of the north-northeast at a light 3 mph, keeping things clean.
But let’s talk about the actual standout window. It’s not for a while, but keep your eyes on Thursday the 24th of September. The morning at *Arguineguin* has that swell tickling up a bit more, with 1 ft from the SSW, a period still around 14 seconds, and glassy conditions with a light NE breeze. The combined energy hits three digits at 110 (moderate wave energy) – the biggest number in the whole run. It’s still small, but for this spot, that’s about as good as it gets in this forecast. If you can wait that long, that Thursday morning session is the pick of a very lean bunch. The following Friday, the 25th, is also decent with 2 ft and some light offshore winds.
This isn't a period to go blowing up your phone about. The consistent message here is small, inconsistent surf with very ordinary conditions. A few days in the second week show a bit of clean, glassy potential, but the wave height never gets out of the ankle-to-knee range. For beginners, this is flat. For anyone else, it's a longboard and a prayer kind of setup.
For the rest, it’s a waiting game. The forecasts could always change, but as it stands, pencil in that 24th of September for a hope.
Rusty.

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.
