The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—if you’re looking for a wave in the next couple of weeks, you’re in for a tough stretch. The forecast is a dusty run of tiny, weak surf with barely enough energy to wet your rails. We’re talking about nothing but tiny 0.3ft to 1ft swells for the entire 16-day window, and the combined energy never even cracks 100 (mostly sitting in the 4 to 50 range). That’s flat, my friends, proper flat. The water’s sitting at 73°F with an anomaly of 1°F, so about average for this time of year.
The only spot on the radar is Arguineguin (Gran Canaria) – a reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely offers much. The swell direction is coming from the SSW, which is its optimum, but the size is laughable. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Friday, July 25, with a 1ft SSW swell and a 15-second period (40 combined energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean, but you’ll be sitting on a 1ft wave. It’s not surfable for anyone, really. The whole period is a write-off—no standout days, no decent size, nothing to get excited about. If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing to learn on; if you’re an expert, there’s nothing to ride. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a flat day paddleboard than a surfboard.
It’s a long gap of nothing. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid “leave the board at home” stretch.
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.
