The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty damn flat for our shores. We’re in for a long stretch of small, weak surf, so if you're itching for a wave, you're going to have to be patient. The swell energy is just not there, and we’ve got a long gap of nothing rideable ahead.

We’re looking at Arguineguin for the whole run. The water temp to start with is about 74°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no worries there.

For the first week, from Wednesday the 5th through to about Tuesday the 11th, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at ankle-biters, with swell heights barely scraping 1ft and the energy readings are pathetic – down in the single digits and 20s. The periods are mostly around 10-13 seconds, but there’s just no size or push behind them. The wind is mostly a gentle cross-offshore breeze, which would keep things clean, but you can’t ride what isn’t there. It’s just going to be a lot of staring at a flat, glassy ocean. This is a big gap of around a week with nothing on offer.

Things start to look a tiny bit more hopeful in the second week. From Wednesday the 12th, we see the swell energy begin to creep up, but it’s still not enough to get excited about. There's a hint of life on Saturday the 15th with the energy jumping to 78, but the waves are still only 1ft. It’s not until Monday the 17th that we finally see some actual surfable waves. The swell bumps up to 2ft with a period of 14 seconds and the energy gets into the triple digits, hitting 135. The wind is light, mostly cross-off or offshore, so the conditions should be clean. But even then, it's still small and weak.

The long-range forecast, for the week after, is where we might finally get something. Around Thursday the 20th, the energy kicks up to 177, with a 2ft swell from the SSW and a period of 15 seconds. It’s still not big, but it’s the best we’ll see. It's long-period, which is a good sign for a reef setup like Arguineguin. The winds look light and offshore, which means it could be glassy and fun on a longboard or a fish. Still, this is a week out, so don’t book your flights yet. It’s promising but far from certain.

Despite being inconsistent, Arguineguin is an exposed reef that starts working when the SSW swell pushes in. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 20th; with any luck, we might finally get a few clean walls. But for now, maybe dust off the longboard and be ready to wait. This is one of those blank runs that happens, but it won't last forever.

Rusty out.

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.
