The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your area. Let’s be straight with you: this is a quiet stretch for surf. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there’s a big gap of nothing special. The first real chance to get wet comes Monday, July 13th, and even then, it’s a mellow affair.
We start things off at Arguineguin. This is a reef break, exposed to the south, and it’s usually an inconsistent setup. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year. On Monday afternoon, July 13th, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft SSW swell rolling in. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. That long period will make the waves shapely, but at this size, it’s going to be slow and small. The combined energy is weak, sitting at 149. The wind is glassy—a light 3 mph from the SSE—so the surface will be clean as a whistle. It’s a day for a longboard or a funboard, just to get a feel for the water.
Tuesday, July 14th, is more of the same. Morning and afternoon both show glassy conditions with 2 ft SSW swell. The period drops slightly to 14 seconds, still a solid groundswell, but energy is fading (145 then 104). The wind is calm to light, so the waves will be clean, but they’re just not packing any punch.
By Wednesday, July 15th, the swell drops to 1 ft with a period of 13 seconds. The energy is down to 62. It’s surfable, but barely. After that, from Thursday, July 16th, all the way through the end of the forecast on July 28th, the swell stays tiny—mostly 0.6 ft to 1 ft—with energy figures that barely crack 100. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, which is good for keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no wave height to work with. The best of the wind comes on the 16th and 20th with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is so weak it’s not worth paddling for.
Because the swell is so small and the energy is low (most days under 100), this is not a period for a proper surf session. It’s a flat spell. The consistency is poor, and it’s a reef break that rarely sees any real action. If you’re a beginner, the tiny waves are safe, but there’s nothing to ride. For the more experienced, this is a write-off.
The only tiny blip of hope is Sunday, July 19th, when the energy briefly hits 107, but the swell is still only 1 ft. It’s a tease. The rest is a long stretch of poor conditions.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The whole period is a bust for proper surfing. It’s one of those times where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this quiet for long.

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.
