The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight up: the surf on offer for Arguineguin over the next 16 days is pretty lacklustre. There’s just not much energy coming in, and the swell is small and inconsistent. Most of the time, the forecast is calling it “poor surf conditions”.
We start with a little bit of a pulse on Friday the 17th of July. Arguineguin is a reef break, and it’s exposed to the south, but the swell is only 1ft from the SSW. The combined energy is weak (102). The water here is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, about 2° above the average for this time of year. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, so it’s clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The period is a super long 19 seconds, which is a groundswell, but with that tiny height, it’s mostly just a long wait between sets for a knee-high wave.
Saturday morning the 18th of July is actually the best moment of the whole run. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is still 1ft from the SSW, but the period drops to 18 seconds. The energy is even lower (74). It’s clean, but it’s still just tiny. This is the only real window for a log or a longboard if you’re desperate.
From Saturday afternoon onward, it’s a long, drawn-out dry spell. The swell stays tiny, rarely getting above 1ft, and the energy values drop into the teens and single digits. The wind is often cross-off or cross, and while it’s clean, the lack of any real push makes it pointless for a proper surf. From the 20th of July right through to the 1st of August, the “poor surf conditions” tag is constant. There are a few moments of glassy conditions or offshore wind, like on the morning of the 24th of July and the 29th of July, but the swell is basically flat (0.3ft to 0.7ft). You’d be better off going for a swim.
For a reef break that’s inconsistent anyway, this is a blank run. The swell is too small and the period is too long to do anything with. There’s nothing here that’s even close to a standout. The best you can hope for is a glassy, knee-high wave on the morning of the 18th. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next system.
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.
