The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on what’s headed our way for the next couple of weeks. It’s a tough one to call right now, so let’s get into it.

First up, the big picture: the water at Arguineguin is sitting at a comfortable 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels nice, but that’s about the only thing that’s going to feel good. We are looking at a long, dry spell. The swell energy is almost non-existent. For the next ten days, from Friday the 4th through to the end of the second week, the combined wave energy is tiny, with readings like 47 and 23, and even dropping to 0 or 2. It’s mostly flat, with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft SSW slop. The period is short, mostly 10-12 seconds, which is just windswell noise. The wind is often light or glassy, which is a tease, because there’s simply nothing to ride. It’s a real bummer.

Now, let’s look at the calendar. We’ve got a gap of about 10 days with no real surf to speak of. The only flicker of hope comes right at the very end of the forecast window. On Thursday, the 18th of September, we see a tiny uptick. The morning brings a 0.7ft SSW swell, and the afternoon bumps up slightly to 1.0ft, with a period of 12 seconds. The energy is weak, at 25 and 39, but it’s something. The wind is light offshore from the NE, which is a positive sign for clean conditions. The following Saturday, the 19th, looks similar with 1.0ft SSW swell and light cross-offshore winds. The energy is still very low, at 32, but it’s the best we’ve got.

If I had to pick a standout, it’s the afternoon of the 18th of September. The combination of the light offshore wind and a tiny bit of SSW swell makes it the only time in the whole 16 days where you might find a knee-high wave that’s not completely chopped up. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s the only window.

The rest of the period is a write-off. For beginners, the swell is too small anyway, and for anyone else, it’s just flat. With these tiny, weak swells and mostly clean conditions, it’s not even worth packing the board. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.

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.
