The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. This is Rusty, and I’ve had a good, hard look at the charts for Arguineguin. Straight up, it’s a tough one to call for the next couple of weeks. We’re staring down a long, flat run before anything worth getting wet for shows up.
For the first 15 days, from August 2nd right through to August 16th, it’s a total bust. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with wave heights hanging around 0.3 ft to 1 ft and the energy is weak, never cracking 60 on the scale. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, which would be a dream if there was any wave to ride, but there just isn’t. It’s a period of clear skies and poor surf conditions, a real desert for a surfer.
Then, things finally get a pulse on Monday, August 17th. A long-period groundswell from the SSW starts to fill in, pushing the wave height to a modest 2 ft. The period is a very long 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 143, which is moderate, so there’s finally some juice in the water. The morning shapes up with glassy conditions, which is a major positive.
Even though the swell direction from the SSW matches Arguineguin’s optimum from the south, this is still only a small swell. The long period is great for this reef break, giving shape and power, but considering the tiny height and the fact this break is inconsistent, don’t expect much. This is a whisper of hope, not a roar. If you’re desperate for a splash on the 17th, you might find a rideable one, but it’s a glassy novelty session, not a standout session. Water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, the honest truth? There are no true standouts here. The first good day in over two weeks is only a "1" out of 10 for quality. If you’re a beginner, the 2 ft swell on the 17th is fine. For anyone else, you’re better off waiting for the next real swell to arrive.
Rusty.

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.
