The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a slow spell on the horizon for the Arguineguin area, so let's get into it.
The lookout is pretty quiet for the next week or so. The first real glimmer of action doesn’t show up until Sunday the 30th of August, and even then it’s pretty small. The water is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 4/3 at home.
We kick things off with a proper gap. From Saturday the 22nd right through to Saturday the 29th of August, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are flat and glassy. It’s a total blank run.
The first sign of life comes on Sunday morning the 30th of August. Arguineguin (reef break) will see a small SSW swell around 1ft, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. The combined energy is still modest at 103, and the wind is offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s surfable. The afternoon glass-off with a light NNW breeze will keep it tidy.
Monday the 31st of August is the standout window. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy hits 361, which is a solid moderate energy push. The morning has a light offshore from the NE, keeping it clean. This is a reef break, and that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, giving you proper shaped waves. It won’t be big, but it’ll be quality. Expect crowds to be possible, as it’s known to get busy.
Tuesday the 1st of September keeps the run going. Another 3ft SSW swell, with a 15-second period and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is still strong at 335. This is your other best bet. After that, the swell slowly fades back down through the first week of September, with the last ‘good’ conditions showing on Wednesday the 2nd of September before the energy drops off again.
The long-range stuff around the 4th and 5th of September is tiny and underpowered – not worth planning around.
So, in short: a long, flat stretch until the 30th of August, then a tidy little window of clean, long-period groundswell at Arguineguin on the 31st of August and 1st of September. That’s the pick.
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.

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.
