The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on this one.
The water here at Arguineguin is running about 75°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – a nice little bonus when you're sitting in the lineup.
Right, the next few days are a real mixed bag. We've got a small, clean window kicking off on Wednesday the 19th. The swell is only 2ft from the SSW, but with a super long 15-second period, it’s got some real grunt for its size. The combined energy is moderate at 200, but the absolute killer here is the glassy conditions – not a breath of wind. It's small and clean for a beginner-friendly reef wave, but don't expect much power.
Thursday morning the 20th looks even better with 3ft SSW swell at 14 seconds and light offshore NE winds. The combined energy is up to 261 and it's looking glassy. This is shaping up to be the real standout of the first few days. You'll want to be on it early.
Friday the 21st holds similar size, around 2ft, but the wind swings to a light cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean. By the afternoon it gets a bit cross, and the quality drops off. From Saturday the 22nd through to the end of the month, it's a real struggle. The swell drops off to 2ft and below, and the energy fades to weak levels. There are days with glassy conditions, but the waves just aren't there. It's a long gap of flat to very weak surf for over a week.
Now, looking further ahead, there's a flicker of life on Sunday the 30th of August. A pulse of 1ft swell rolls in, but get this – the period is a very long 17 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 100, so it's nothing to write home about, but those super long periods mean any wave that stands up will have a bit of shape, especially on a reef setup like this. Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September see a little more size, 2ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and combined energy creeping back up to moderate levels around 186. Winds look light and variable, possibly glassy again. It's a promising long-range signal, but it's a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt. For now, the best bet is definitely Thursday morning, the 20th of August.
Rusty.

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.
