Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arguineguin over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Arguineguin.
Right off the bat, this is a quiet period. The surf is going to be small for the majority of the forecast, so don't expect anything with any real punch. There's a bit of a run of small, clean waves to start, but it fades out pretty quickly. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The best bet, and really the only window of interest, kicks off on Saturday the 12th of July. The Sunday morning session on the 12th is the standout. We're looking at clean, 2ft SSW groundswell with a long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the East. The wave energy is moderate (246), and the conditions are just about perfect. Arguineguin is a reef break, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely, and with it being inconsistent, you might have the place to yourself if you're lucky, though crowds are possible. The morning of the 13th and the 14th will offer similar small, glassy conditions, but that energy is already dropping off.
From the 15th of July onwards, things get really skinny. The swell drops below 1ft and the combined energy plummets into the double digits (as low as 16). From the 16th right through to the 26th of July, it's a long stretch of very poor surf. The forecast is clear for the most part, but there just isn't any wave energy to work with. For a solid week and a half, it's going to be flat or near-flat. The wind stays light, but when the swell is that weak, it doesn't matter.
Honestly, keep your expectations low. The only real time to get a wet-noodle session in is that Sunday the 12th and maybe Monday the 13th. After that, it's a long 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.
