The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look at Arguineguin. Let's be straight up about it – this is gonna be a tough one. We've got a serious lack of swell energy for the next couple of weeks.
The first faint pulse arrives on Wednesday, September 2nd, but it's underwhelming. We're looking at a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a period of 14 seconds and combined wave energy of just 156. The water is sitting at a warm 75°, about 2° above average for this time of year, which is a bit notable but nothing crazy. A light NNW breeze is blowing cross-offshore, so the surface will be tidy, but the waves themselves are small and weak. Honestly, it's surfable but very ordinary.
Thursday the 3rd is actually the best the whole stretch has to offer, and that's saying something. Early morning you get a clean glass-off with 2ft of SSW swell. The period holds at 13 seconds, but the energy drops to 99. It’s gutless, but with no wind and clean conditions, a longboard or a funboard will still get some glide. The afternoon stays glassy with an even smaller 1ft. This is the standout, but only because everything else is worse.
After that, it's a long, painful slide. From Friday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 15th, we’re looking at a solid stretch of poor to non-existent surf. Wave heights drop below 1ft, the energy numbers are in the dumps – single digits and low double digits – and the wind is a mix of cross-off and cross-on breezes. It’s a flat spell that drags on for nearly two weeks.
The week of September 10th to the 16th offers nothing. A couple of mornings with glassy conditions on the 0.7ft swell, but you’re not getting wet for that. The winds stay light or calm, but there's simply no ocean energy to work with.
A tiny flicker of life shows up on Thursday, September 17th, with a 0.7ft SSW swell but the period jumps to 16 seconds and the energy climbs to 54. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE. Don't get excited – it's still tiny, but for the first time in weeks there's a bit of pulse. It’s a long, long way off, so keep an eye on it, but for now, this forecast is about as flat as it gets.
For a beginner-friendly reef break that's already inconsistent, a run like this is more normal than you'd hope. The swell just isn't cooperating. Arguineguin is a sheltered spot sensitive to south swells, and they're just not showing up.
There's no surf to get excited about here. The best of a bad lot is Thursday morning the 3rd with the glassy 2ft. Everything else you can write off.
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.
