Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let’s break down what’s happening for Arguineguin. Rusty here, and the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag. We start off with a sweet little run of clean waves, but then it goes dead flat for a solid stretch before maybe showing some life again at the very end.

Right now, starting Tuesday the 18th of August, we’re in business. It’s small but clean, with swell out of the SSW around 2ft and a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 166, and with glassy, near-calm wind, Arguineguin is looking like a fun little wave. Water temp is about average for the season, nothing crazy.

Wednesday the 19th is the real standout. The swell holds at 3ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. Combined energy hits 281, and with zero wind in the morning making it glassy, this will be the cleanest, most lined-up waves of the whole window. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, but when it’s on like this, it’s pure quality. The long period will mean bigger gaps between sets, but the shape will be worth it. Get out there early.

Thursday the 20th keeps the run going with similar 3ft SSW swell, though the period drops to 14 seconds. Still clean and glassy with light winds, energy at 261. Very fun.

Friday the 21st stays good, with 2ft SSW swell and offshore winds in the morning. A little cleaner, but the energy drops slightly. Still very surfable.

Saturday the 22nd is the last of the good stuff. Swell drops to 2ft, energy is weak at just 101, and while the wind is clean, the waves are getting small and ordinary.

Then from Sunday the 23rd all the way through to Saturday the 29th of August, it’s a flat spell. A big gap of about a week with waves barely hitting 1ft. The energy is in the double digits or low single digits. Nothing to ride.

Sunday the 30th of August shows a tiny flicker. A 1ft swell from the SSW but with a very long 18-second period. Combined energy is just 70, so it’s weak. It’s there, but barely.

Now, heading into Monday the 31st of August, we get a little more hope. Swell builds to 2ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and combined energy jumps to 195. The morning is glassy, so it could be worth a look, but it's still small.

The real potential for the second week comes on Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s the one to circle on the calendar if you can wait. Swell is back up to 3ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, combined energy of 233, and offshore wind in the morning making it clean. It’s a long-range call, so don’t lock it in, but it’s promising.

Wednesday the 2nd of September fades again, so that Tuesday is the clear target if you’re patient.

Overall, the first few days are the clear winners. Wednesday the 19th is the absolute best on offer for quality. After that, it’s a week of flatness, then a potential return right at the start of September. Keep your eyes peeled, and don’t sleep on that Wednesday morning.

Rusty.
