Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got on the cards for Arguineguin over the next couple of weeks. I've gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty quiet out there.

The whole 16-day window is a tough one. There's a massive gap right at the start where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. Honestly, we're not seeing any decent, rideable surf until the afternoon of Friday, the 17th of July, and even then it's marginal. You're looking at a few days at the beginning with practically nothing on offer.

For the entire forecast, the only spot worth a mention is Arguineguin, a reef setup that breaks best on a south swell. Water temps are sitting about 74°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice for a long session in boardies.

Friday the 17th finally sees a tiny pulse of energy arrive. In the afternoon, we’ve got a weak 1 ft swell from the SSW with a long period of 19 seconds, and the combined energy is still pretty low at 102. The wind will be a light cross-off from the NNW, so the waves will be clean, but they’ll be small and gutless. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Don't expect much.

If there's a standout in this whole period, and I'm stretching here, it’s the Saturday morning, the 18th of July. The swell stays at 1 ft from the SSW, but the period is a very long 18 seconds. The real kicker is the wind – it goes completely glassy with NNE at 0 mph. For that alone, the conditions will be perfect. The swell energy is weak (73), so you’re still hunting for those clean little peelers. It’s the most attractive window for a longboard or a foiler who just wants to enjoy the peace.

After Saturday, we drift back into a long, drawn-out lull. From Sunday the 19th all the way through to the 31st of July, the swell drops and never recovers. We’re talking less than 1 ft of SSW windswell for days on end, with most of the combined energy readings below 50. The wind stays mostly light and cross-offshore, so the water will look like a lake, but there’s simply no push. The 29th of July even shows a less than 1 ft E swell with a pathetic 5-second period – that’s just bump on the surface.

So, the verdict? This is a flat spell for Arguineguin. There's nothing for beginners, and nothing for experts either. The best you can hope for is a glassy morning on the 18th of July for a few tiny, clean waves. Otherwise, this blank run looks pretty normal for the area when the south swell disappears. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
