The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead for this region. Right out of the gate, there's basically nothing to surf for the first week and a half. We’re looking at flat, weak conditions all the way from Sunday the 26th of July through to at least Friday the 7th of August. The combined energy of all swells is tiny, sitting below 50 (31) most days, with swell heights barely cracking 0.7ft. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
Out at Arguineguin (reef), the wind does turn glassy or light offshore on a few mornings, but with wave heights stuck at 0.3ft to 0.7ft and periods all over the shop, it’s just not worth paddling out. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s a complete washout. The water temp is running about average for the time of year, so no dramas there, but you’d be better off doing something else.
Finally, around Sunday the 2nd of August, we see a tiny bump. Swell inches up to 1.0ft out of the SSW with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy finally reaches 37 on the Sunday morning and 48 Sunday afternoon. That's still weak energy, but at least it’s a long-period pulse that could wrap into this reef. Winds are mostly light cross-off or even glassy, so it will look clean, but the reality is we’re talking knee-high at best. It's the best of a bad bunch, but don’t expect any real rides.
From that point, the outlook settles back into a snooze for the rest of the 16-day window. We get more days of 0.7ft to 1.0ft, glassy mornings, and clean surfaces, but there’s no power behind it. This break is inconsistent normally, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this quiet forever, and one good south pulse could change everything.
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.
