The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Arguineguin.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We kick off with a little pulse of swell on Tuesday the 1st of September, and that’s really your best window. Arguineguin is a reef break and it’s inconsistent, so when it does show, you gotta be on it. The water’s sitting at a warm 75°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels nice.
Tuesday afternoon sees a clean 3ft SSW swell with a solid 16-second period. That’s proper long-period groundswell, meaning plenty of energy and shape, but it’ll be lining up best on the reef. The wind is light cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, so the surface will be tidy. Combined energy is 344 (moderate), and it’s really your standout session – the only one worth paddling out for.
Wednesday morning the 2nd drops a little to 2ft SSW with a 14-second period, still clean with light cross-off wind. The energy drops to 213 (moderate), still surfable. By Wednesday afternoon it’s down to 2ft and the energy is 156 – ordinary but you could still get a slide.
Thursday the 3rd is small: 2ft SSW, 13-second period, light variable winds. Morning is cross-off and afternoon goes glassy. The energy is down to 100 then 96 (weak to marginal). It’s surfable but very ordinary.
From Friday the 4th onward, the swell drops away hard. Heights flatten from 1ft down to 0.3ft through to the 8th, and combined energy falls into single digits. There are a few glassy mornings from the 8th of September onwards, but the swell is basically non-existent – poor surf conditions right through to the 16th.
There’s a long gap with no real recommendations after the 3rd. If you’re desperate and the wind is glassy, you might find a tiny knee-high ripple, but honestly, it’s not worth the effort. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area.
Best option: Tuesday afternoon the 1st of September at Arguineguin – 3ft SSW, 16-second period, light offshore breeze. That’s your one shot.

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.
