Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next sixteen days are looking pretty quiet for Arguineguin. There's a bit of activity on the very first day, but after that, it’s a long stretch of flat to tiny waves, so don't get your hopes up too high.

The best option we’ve got in this whole window is on Thursday, the 3rd of September. The early morning at Arguineguin is the pick of the bunch. You’re looking at a small but workable 2ft swell from the SSW, but the real winner here is the wind. It's dead calm, glassy, with the water at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is weak at 98, so it's not going to have much push, but for a small wave session, it’ll be clean. The swell period is a long 13 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell that will wrap around the reef nicely. Arguineguin is a reef setup, so that long period should actually help shape up a few rideable lines. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and it’s a beginner-friendly wave, so that’s a bit of a heads-up.

That Thursday afternoon, the same 1ft SSW swell is still around, but the wind picks up to a light cross-off breeze from the east. It’s still clean, but the energy drops to 67, making it even weaker.

Friday, the 4th, through Sunday, the 6th of September, the swell drops away to 1ft or less, and the wave quality is poor. Winds are light and glassy at times, but there’s just no energy to work with. The combined energy falls to 47 on Friday morning and then keeps dropping to a measly 3 by Sunday afternoon. It’s really just a complete flat spell.

From Monday, the 7th, all the way through to Friday, the 18th of September, the story doesn’t change. We’re stuck with swell heights of 0.3ft to 1.0ft, and the combined energy almost never gets above 30. The winds are often light or glassy, which is nice, but you can’t surf a wave that isn’t there. There are long gaps of several days with no worthwhile surf at all. The longest period swell we see in this stretch is 18 seconds on the 8th, but the swell height is only 0.3ft, so it’s just a ghost.

So, the only real standout is that Thursday morning session. It’s nothing to write home about, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and a few tiny clean waves, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long blank run for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking pretty slim.

Rusty.
