Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a slow burner. We're looking at a long stretch of real quiet conditions, so don't get your hopes up for anything big straight away. The first few days are a tease, but the real action is all packed into the first week.

The standout is Arguineguin. This reef break is usually a bit inconsistent, but when it turns on, it's something else. It needs a south swell, and we've got exactly that. The pick of the week is Monday afternoon, August 31st. The wind goes glassy, NW offshore at just 3 mph, and we've got a solid 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 14 seconds. The wave energy is moderate at 263, and those conditions will be absolutely clean. It's a proper reef setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely, not just close out. Expect good surf.

The next morning, Tuesday, September 1st, is also a strong call. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, still with a long 16-second period. The wind is a clean cross-off from the N at 3 mph. The energy is building to a moderate 424, so it's got more push. The afternoon stays clean with a NNW cross-off, but it's a bit breezier at 9 mph. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but if you can get out, it's worth it.

Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is the last real shout in this first window. You've got a solid 2ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NNE at 6 mph. The energy is moderate at 213, and the conditions are clean. After that, the swell starts to fade fast.

From Thursday, September 3rd, through to Monday, September 14th, it's a long, flat, and windy gap. The swell drops to nothing—1ft or less—with no real energy. A few mornings might be glassy, but there's just nothing to ride. It's a proper blank run.

Things start to perk up again on Monday afternoon, September 14th. A tiny 1ft SSW swell shows up with a 13-second period. The energy is still weak at 71, and the wind is glassy. It's surfable, but only just. And Tuesday, September 15th, is a copy of that with a bit less energy. Not a highlight, but it's the only thing on the horizon after the long dry spell.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no shock there. Keep an eye on the glassy windows, because when the wind drops and the swell is from the south, Arguineguin is the only game in town.

Rusty.
