The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for our little corner of the surf world.

Right now, it’s looking pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, poor surf starting from the 8th of August, with waves barely a whisper. That run of barely-there conditions hangs around for over a week, with swell heights stuck at 0.7ft or 1ft. The combined energy is weak, often in single digits or low teens – not enough to get excited about. That’s the reality from the 8th through to the 15th.

Now, the 16th of August, Sunday morning, things start to twitch. Arguineguin, a reef break, will see a little 1ft swell from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell, so it’ll have some push, but it’s tiny. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus for clean surface conditions, but the overall energy is still just 79 – weak. The surf is surfable, but very ordinary.

The first real standout arrives on the 17th of August, Monday morning. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, period of 15 seconds – a good long groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 282 (moderate energy), and we’ve got light cross-offshore winds from the NNE. The report says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s our pick of the early part of the run. Arguineguin is an inconsistent reef, so don’t expect it to fire every day, but this window looks promising. Water temperature is 75°, which is about one degree Fahrenheit warmer than average for this time of year – noticeably pleasant.

Later in the week, the 20th of August, Thursday morning, looks like another decent call. Swell builds to 3ft from the SSW, period of 16 seconds, with combined energy at 353 (moderate). Light cross-offshore winds from the N will keep it clean. The 19th of August, Wednesday afternoon, also has a shout with 2ft swell, 15-second period, and clean conditions – but the Thursday morning window edges it for size.

From the 21st onwards, it tails off again. The 22nd and 23rd see the swell drop back to 1ft and 2ft, with low energy. The 23rd has offshore winds, but the wave size just isn’t there.

So, to sum it up: a long, flat gap from the start, then the 17th of August Monday morning is the best of what we’ve got, followed by the 20th of August Thursday morning as a solid second look. Keep your eyes on those two sessions.

Stay stoked.

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.
