The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here in the old units. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at a flat spell for the Canaries, stretching out the full 16 days. The first few days have a bit of tiny swell, but it’s mostly a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for.
Arguineguin is the only break in the mix. It’s a reef, inconsistent, and really needs a south swell to work. The water is 74°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
On Friday 17th and into the weekend, we’ve got a tiny south groundswell running, 1ft to 1ft, with a long period of 16 to 19 seconds. That long period means it’ll have some shape, but the size is so small there’s barely any push. The combined wave energy is weak, peaking at 102 on Friday afternoon, then dropping to 74 and 95 on Saturday and Sunday. Winds are light, offshore or glassy from the NE, so the surface will be clean. Saturday morning 18th is glassy – that’s your best window. But it’s still only 1ft. For a beginner on a longboard, you might get a wobble.
From Monday 20th onward, it’s downhill. The swell drops to 0.7ft to 1ft, the period shortens, and the energy falls into the teens and single digits. By the 23rd, we’re at 1ft with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is just 36. It’s flat, mate. The wind stays cross-offshore from the N or NNW, so the water is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. That pattern holds through the end of the month and into August 1st.
There are no true standouts. The best of a bad lot is the Saturday morning 18th, with that glassy 1ft south swell, but only if you’re a beginner on a foamie or just want to sit in the water. The rest of the 16 days is a total blank.
If you’re into kiting, the clean cross-off winds and tiny swell might work for a foil, but for a surfboard? Not this time.
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.
