The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a long, dry run with barely a ripple. The first real chance of anything even remotely surfable is on Saturday morning, July 18th, and it’s a tough sell.
Saturday morning, July 18th, Arguineguin (reef) is the only game in town, and it’s a game for the patient. The swell is a tiny 1.0 ft from the SSW, but the wait is worth it for the conditions. The wind is glass – dead calm from the NE at just 3 mph. That’s a beautiful thing. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 74°F, so you’re comfortable. The problem? It’s small, inconsistent, and the combined wave energy is weak (73). It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but you’ll be scratching for waves. The SSW direction is a tricky fit for this break, which prefers something from the south.
Saturday afternoon the wind switches to a cross-shore from the NW at 6 mph, and it’s poor. The rest of the week? A ghost town. From Sunday, July 19th, all the way through to Friday, August 2nd, the forecast is a parade of tiny, weak swells, mostly under 1.0 ft with poor scores. The wind is often cross-offshore or offshore, so the surface is clean, but there’s just no energy. The combined energy drops into the teens and single digits – it’s basically a lake.
The one glimmer comes on Thursday morning, July 30th, but it’s over a week away and a weird one. A 2 ft easterly swell pops up with a short period of only 7 seconds. The wind is a light offshore from the NE at 3 mph, so it’ll be clean. But that short period and east direction are a bad match for Arguineguin’s optimum S swell. The combined energy is still only 38. It’s not worth a special trip.
Forget the second week – it’s a write-off. The last few days of July and into August are flat with barely a breath of life. The wind stays clean, but there’s no swell to push it.
The bottom line: There’s nothing here to get excited about. The best bet is the Saturday morning (July 18th) glass-off session at Arguineguin if you’re desperate for a paddle and a few tiny, clean waves. For anything with real push, you’re looking at a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
