Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ here in our little corner. The next 16 days are going to be a real mixed bag – not a lot of size, but there are a few windows where it’ll be worth paddling out. The main story is a long-period, south-southwest groundswell that’s got some decent energy behind it early on, but the waves stay small. The real standout is the weekend just ahead, so keep that in mind.

We’re talkin’ Arguineguin, a reef break that’s a beginner’s spot but pretty inconsistent. The water temp is sitting around 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothin’ unusual there.

Let’s kick off with Thursday the 9th. Honestly, it’s a write-off. Only 1ft of swell, and the energy is weak (54), with a 16-second period but the conditions are poor. Glassy wind in the morning turns a bit cross later, but the waves just aren’t there. Friday the 10th is a little better – still tiny with 1ft, but the glassy conditions mean you *could* get a slide in if you’re desperate. The energy is still low (71 and 88).

Now, Saturday the 11th is where it gets interesting. We’ve got 1ft of SSW swell, but here’s the kicker – the period jumps to 19 seconds, and the combined energy hits 258 (moderate). That’s a proper little groundswell pulse. Glassy winds all day. For a reef break, that long period will give you some nice, lined-up waves, but it’s still small so it’ll be fun for the beginners and longboarders. Sunday the 12th keeps the good vibes going with 2ft, 18-second period, and 246 energy in the morning – glassy again. Monday the 13th is similar, 2ft with morning glass. These few days, from Saturday morning through Monday, are your best bet. The swell direction is SSW, which suits this spot’s optimum from the south.

After that, things taper off. Tuesday the 14th through to the end of the first week stays small (1ft to 2ft) but the period drops, energy fades into the double digits, and winds get a bit cross-off. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The second week (from around the 17th onward) is pretty bleak – tiny waves, weak energy, and mostly poor conditions. A few glassy moments pop up on the 20th and 21st of July with 1ft, but the energy is low and the swell is short-period.

The real standout is that Saturday the 11th of July through Monday the 13th. Clean, glassy mornings, a long-period SSW groundswell, and enough energy to make it worthwhile. It’s not big, but for a break that’s inconsistent, this little window is the one to chase.
