Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good long look at what we’ve got coming up for the next couple of weeks at our local spot.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start and a long, quiet patch ahead. The best of the whole run is right on our doorstep, this Monday morning. We’re looking at a clean 2 ft swell from the SSW with a very long 16 second period, giving us a nice moderate energy level (201). The wind is absolutely dead glass, zero mph. For a reef break like Arguineguin that needs that south in the swell, this is about as clean as it gets. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no worries there. It is an inconsistent break though, so don’t expect non-stop waves, but when they come, they’ll be quality. You’ll want to be on it early.
Monday afternoon, the energy drops a bit (149) and the period shortens to 15 seconds, still glassy and clean, but not the standout of the morning.
As we move into Tuesday and Wednesday, the swell hangs in around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, but the energy slowly fades. Winds stay light and glassy for the mornings, so it’ll stay clean, but the wave quality is just ordinary – small and weak.
By Thursday the 16th, we’re into a pretty grim stretch. Swell drops to 0.7 ft and the energy falls off a cliff (down to 22). Winds turn cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the ocean just isn't putting out. This flat, weak pattern sticks around for days. We're talking about a week or more of tiny, un-rideable surf. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see a slight bump in energy (up to 98) with 1.0 ft to 1 ft swell, but the period is long at 18 to 16 seconds, and with a cross-off breeze, it’s still not doing anything for this break.
Things don’t really change. The final week from the 21st onwards is more of the same – tiny waves, very low energy, and not a single session worth getting excited about. The wind stays light to moderate from the north, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no power behind it.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got one solid, clean, glassy session on Monday morning the 13th. After that, it’s a long, flat stretch with no real standouts. Get out there early Monday if you want a wave, because it’s going to be a quiet couple of weeks after that.
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.
