Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the menu for Arguineguin over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you from the get-go: this stretch is looking flat and pretty ordinary for the most part. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and we’re going to have a long wait for anything that’s even worth a second look.

Right now, and for the next several days, we’re seeing nothing but ankle-snappers. For the whole first week, from Saturday the 4th right through to around Wednesday the 9th, the swell is hovering around 0.7ft to 1ft from the SSW with a combined wave energy that’s barely registering (34 to 56 – that’s weak, folks). The water temp is sitting at about 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year with only a slight anomaly of 0.9°. There are some glassy moments, especially early on the 4th and again on the afternoon of the 5th, but with zero push in the water, it’s not going to be a surfing session.

We’ve got a bit of a gap here with no real recommendations until things try to perk up.

Now, let’s talk about the only window that looks even slightly interesting. It’s not a standout by any means, but if you’re desperate, Sunday the 12th of July is your best bet. We finally see the swell nudge up to 2ft from the SSW, and the combined energy climbs into the moderate range at 214. The really good news is the wind: it’s offshore from the NNE in the morning, keeping things clean. The period is a solid 18 seconds, which is a proper groundswell – it’ll have some shape, but at a beachy setup like this, those long-period swells can sometimes wall up and close out. Still, clean 2ft waves with that much period? It’ll be small, but fun for a longboard or a fish.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th also offer some clean, surfable but very ordinary conditions (energy around 140-180), so a small, clean board might get a few rides in the morning.

As we push into the second week, from around the 15th onward, it’s back to the same story: tiny swell, weak energy (down to 32-64), and not much to get excited about.

The bottom line is that this is a quiet stretch for Arguineguin. The only real window for a paddle is Sunday the 12th, with a chance to stretch your legs on the 13th and 14th. The rest is a waiting game.

Stay keen, keep an eye on the horizon, and remember – it never stays flat forever.

Rusty.
