The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty flat spell ahead for this little corner of the island. The water’s hanging at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
It’s a quiet start, real quiet. From Saturday the 22nd to the end of the month, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell. Mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a combined swell energy barely cracking 100 (down to single digits some days). There’s some glassy morning windows here and there, but honestly, for a paddler, there’s nothing doing. It’s a solid ten-day gap with no real surf to get excited about.
The first sign of life finally shows up on Sunday the 30th of August. You’ll see some 1 ft swell from the SSW with a period stretching out to 17 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 100, so the ocean’s got a tiny pulse again. It’s still very ordinary, but it’s a start. The real turning point comes Monday morning the 31st of August. The swell bumps up to 2 ft from the SSW, the period hangs long at 17 seconds, and the combined energy kicks up to a noticeable 408 (moderate). The winds are light northerly, glassy conditions early. That’s the first proper window, and it looks clean.
Tuesday the 1st of September carries the same vibe: 3 ft of SSW groundswell, a solid 15-second period, and good energy readings of 408 in the morning and 309 in the afternoon. The winds are clean, cross-off from the north-northwest, so the waves should have some shape. Wednesday the 2nd fades a bit, with 2 ft dropping to 2 ft, and by the 3rd, we’re tailing off again.
If you’re after one standout, pin your hopes on Monday the 31st of August morning. The swell’s not big, but that 2 ft of long-period SSW groundswell combined with glassy, offshore-adjacent conditions and a moderate energy level (408) makes it the best chance for a clean, fun session at Arguineguin. The reef setup here works best with this southerly direction, so it could be a little gem. Just don’t expect much; the crowds here can be around sometimes. For the rest, it’s a long, slow wait.
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.
