The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what Mother Nature’s got cooking.
Honestly, it’s a long, quiet stretch. For the next 16 days, there’s hardly a wave worth mentioning. We’re looking at a run of flatness that stretches for days, with only tiny, weak pulses of swell. The first chance to wet a wetsuit comes Wednesday morning, July 29th, but that’s just 0.3ft of south swell with a 12-second period – a groundswell, but so weak the combined energy is only (7). It’s glassy, which is nice to look at, but you won’t be riding anything.
From there, it’s more of the same: tiny 0.3ft to 1ft southerly swells through the end of July and the first few days of August. The combined energy creeps up to (56) by Monday afternoon, August 3rd, but that’s still just a bump. Winds are often clean or cross-off, but the swell height is just not there. By Sunday, August 2nd, we get a 1ft wave with glassy conditions, but it’s still poor.
Into the second week, from August 5th onward, expect the same. Swell stays around 0.7ft to 1ft, with the best combined energy hitting (34) on the afternoon of August 5th with a clean offshore breeze. But let’s be real – that’s not a surf you drive for. The swell direction hangs around the SSW, but the size just can’t push through.
The only break in the mix is Arguineguin, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and only really fires when there’s a decent south swell. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Because it’s so small and weak, and the wind stays mostly off or glassy, this is more of a wading or sightseeing spot for the next two weeks. If you’re a beginner, even 1ft is no fun – there’s no energy. For the experts, there’s nothing to chase.
Bottom line: a long, flat spell. It’s the kind of run where you check the forecast, shake your head, and go do something else. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
