Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Arguineguin has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so straight up, the vibe for Arguineguin is pretty flat and quiet for most of this forecast. We're looking at a long stretch of weak, small surf that's barely worth paddling out for. The wave energy is low, with combined energy values mostly in the 20s to 50s – that's barely a ripple.
We start off Thursday the 2nd with tiny 1ft SSW swell, but the wind is a messy cross-shore, so conditions are poor. That pattern locks in for days. Friday the 3rd through to Saturday the 4th offers some glassy windows, but with the swell only at 0.7ft to 1ft and periods around 11 to 15 seconds, you're looking at something more like a lake surface than surf. The energy is weak, dropping as low as 16 on Sunday the 5th morning.
Honestly, there's a long gap here with nothing to recommend. We stay stuck on tiny, weak pulses until things start to show a little life around Friday the 10th. Even then, the 1ft, 15-second SSW swell only rates as "surfable but very ordinary," with combined energy nudging 63 – still very weak.
The first real moment that catches my eye happens on Saturday the 11th morning. The swell bumps up to 1ft from the SSW with a long 19-second period. The combined energy jumps to 216, which is moderate. But don't get too excited – the wind goes cross-shore, making it look messy. The best window of the whole forecast is Sunday the 12th morning. We get a clean 2ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, sweet offshore NNE wind at 3 mph, and combined energy at 242. The water temp is 72°, and that's about normal for this time of year. This is your standout. The wave quality is expected to be good, and that offshore wind will give you glassy, clean faces at the reef.
After that, it fades again. The energy drops through the week, and by the 16th and 17th we're back to tiny 0.7ft swells. The longer period groundswell (15 to 18 seconds) we see here can make Arguineguin's reef break a bit tricky – it might wall up and be hard to predict for the beach break crowd. But with these small sizes, it's not a danger, just a bit shut down.
So, to sum it up: you've got a long, flat start. The only real stand-out is Sunday morning, July 12th. That's the one to pencil in. The rest is a waiting game.
Stay salty,
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.
