The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Arguineguin. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
Overall, the pattern is flat – really flat. The first week is a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak swell and a whole lot of calm. The combined wave energy barely gets above double digits, so we’re talking about a lake-like state for the first several days. The only real pulse of energy comes right at the very end of the 16-day window, but it’s not much to shout about.
From this Friday, the 4th of September, right through to the 18th, it’s a full-on surf drought. You’ll see some small, short-period leftovers from the south-southwest, but they’re not going to break the 1 ft mark. The wind is mostly light and offshore or glassy, so the water looks clean, but there’s simply no push to ride. The water temperature is sitting at about 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one, is on Saturday the 19th of September. We get a bit of a tick up in the energy – the combined swell energy climbs to 64 in the morning and 68 in the afternoon. That’s still weak energy, but it’s the most we see all forecast. The swell from the SSW is around 1 ft, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a long period for such a tiny wave, so it’ll have a bit of shape but won't have much grunt. The wind turns glassy in the morning and stays glassy in the afternoon, which is a pretty picture. The water is clean, the conditions are calm, but it’s still just a tiny wave for beginners. It’s not going to light anyone’s world on fire. For the advanced crew, it’s not worth a second glance.
So, if you’re a true beginner looking for a splash, the 19th is your only real shot. For everyone else, this is a blank run. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just takes a nap. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
