The Lowdown
Gather 'round, crew. Rusty here with a look at the coming weeks. Straight up, we've got a long, flat spell ahead. The surf window is basically closed for the next 16 days, so don't be holding your breath for any waves of consequence. The first few days do have a tiny pulse, but it's not enough to get excited about.
We start on Monday, 20 July, at Arguineguin (reef). It's an inconsistent little spot, and it's living up to that name. We've got a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 15-second period, but the energy is weak (82). The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the surface is clean, but the swell is just too small to do much with. The water is 73°, which is about average for this time of year. By Monday afternoon, the swell drops to 1.0ft, and it's a "poor surf conditions" call from there on out.
Tuesday, 21 July, is a repeat: 1ft SSW swell, period dropping to 13 seconds, and the energy falling to 65. Wind is light and cross-off again, but the waves are just not there. The rest of the week is a slow slide into nothing. By Wednesday, 22 July, the swell is down to 1.0ft, energy is a measly 31, and it just keeps fading. The entire second week, from 27 July onward, is a ghost town. We're looking at 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells, with energy values barely breaking double digits. There are a few glassy mornings on 28 and 29 July, but with 0.3ft of swell, it's a lake, not a surf break.
The standout? There isn't one. The best of a bad bunch is Monday morning, 20 July, and Tuesday morning, 21 July, at Arguineguin. If you're desperate for a splash, you might find a knee-high ripple on the sets. The wind is clean, but the swell is just too weak and inconsistent. This is a long, quiet stretch, and it's pretty normal for the area to go on a blank run like this. Don't hold your breath, and keep an eye on the charts—things can turn around.
Stay patient.
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.
