The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board shorts and let’s talk waves. It’s gonna be a slow one for a while. The next week and a bit is looking pretty flat for our stretch of coast. We’ve got a lot of days where the swell just isn’t showing up – we’re talking small, weak pulses with barely enough push to get you over the sandbar. The water’s a touch warm, sitting around 74°F, which is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a hood.
The action, such as it is, starts to look a little more interesting from Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got a push of long-period groundswell, with the period stretching out to 16 seconds. That’s a good sign for the Arguineguin reef (Gran Canaria), but the size is still pretty small. It’s not breaking with any authority, just enough to catch one if you’re patient. The wind is light and offshore from the northeast, which will keep it clean. But honestly, it’s going to be a lot of effort for not much reward.
The best of the window looks like it’ll be Thursday the 17th. That same long-period southwest swell sticks around, but it builds a touch, maybe hitting 2ft. The period is still a solid 14 seconds, and with light north winds, the reef should be clean. The combined energy is up to 118, which is the most we’ve seen in the whole window, so it’ll have just a bit more juice in it. It’s still not big, but it’s the most surfable it’s going to get. This is a spot that can handle this swell direction well.
After that, it fades back down. Through the 18th and into the following week, we’re back to those tiny, underwhelming swells. The energy drops and the period stays around 12-13 seconds, but the size just isn't there. There will be a few glassy mornings with light winds, especially around the 21st, but the swell is just too weak to do anything on. It’s a long stretch of waiting, to be honest.
So, if you’re keen, the standout is Thursday the 17th at Arguineguin. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’s the only time the wave height and energy align with clean winds. It could be a fun, mellow session on the high tide. Just don’t expect much else.
