The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty talkin' to you from the shores of Arguineguin. Let me be straight with you—this forecast is a tough one. For the next couple of weeks, we’re lookin’ at a whole lot of nothin’ in the wave department. There’s a big gap of small, weak surf ahead, so don’t be expectin’ any hero sessions.
The first chance to wet a line comes early on Sunday morning, July 19th. We’ve got a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell rollin’ in with a long 16-second period. The energy is weak, only 95. Combined with a light offshore from the NE at 3 mph, the conditions will be clean, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. Honestly, it’s more of a pond than a surf spot right now.
The water is sittin’ at a warm 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.
From there on out, we’re lookin’ at a long dry spell. The swell sticks around the 0.7ft to 1ft range for the next couple of weeks, with most days tagged as “poor surf conditions.” Winds stay light and mostly cross-offshore, which would be sweet for a proper swell, but there just isn’t any power behind it. The combined energy drops to single digits by the end of July, barely a ripple.
Arguineguin is an inconsistent reef break, and this stretch is a classic example of a summer flat spell. It’s not unusual for this spot to go quiet, so don’t throw your board in the dumpster just yet.
If you’re lookin’ for a standout, there isn’t one. The closest thing to a highlight is that early Sunday morning session on the 19th, but even then, it’s a long paddle for a waist-high wave. The very long period (16 seconds) means those sets will be few and far between, and on a reef setup like this, the shape might be alright, but there’s just no size to work with.
If the winds pick up and there’s any sign of a pulse, keep an eye out, but for now, the forecast is about as flat as a pancake. I wouldn’t bother waxing up just yet.

Information about the Arguineguin Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Arguineguin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
