The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The first stretch of the 16-day window is a total flat spell. From Tuesday the 25th of August through Saturday the 30th, there’s zero surf worth mentioning. Swell heights are 0.6ft to 1ft, with combined energy values in the teens to low 20s. It’s snoozeville.
A change arrives on Sunday the 30th, but it’s still tiny. The real deal shows up on Monday the 31st of August. The morning at Arguineguin (reef) has a 2ft SSW swell, but the period is 15 seconds, and the combined energy is 234 (moderate). The wind is calm and glassy. That long period will make the waves punchy for the size. The water’s at 76°, which is a touch warmer than usual.
The absolute standout is Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning session sees 3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy hits 578 (strong). The wind is glassy light from the east – basically offshore. This is the cleanest, most powerful day of the whole outlook. It’s a proper groundswell, and Arguineguin will be the spot.
The swell holds through Wednesday the 2nd but drops off by Thursday the 3rd. By Friday the 4th of September, we’re back to flat, and that’s it until the end of the forecast on the 9th. Your best bet is that Tuesday morning.
Rusty.

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.
