Arguineguin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Arguineguin over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s slim pickings. This is gonna be a long, quiet stretch. We’re looking at a solid gap of no real surf on offer for the bulk of the 16-day window. The first few days have a tiny bit of energy, but nothing that’s gonna get your heart racing.

For the opening weekend, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, we’ve got tiny 1ft of swell from the SSW. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy readings around 73 to 95 (low numbers). The real kicker here is the wind. Early Sunday morning is looking glassy with a light NNE breeze, which is a major positive for clean conditions at Arguineguin, a reef break that’s exposed to the south. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell period is super long – 16 to 18 seconds – which is proper groundswell, but with this tiny height, it’s just gonna be small, clean, sliders. Great for a beginner on a longboard, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon sees a light cross-off wind, keeping it clean but still small.

Come Monday the 20th, it’s more of the same: 1ft, SSW swell, weak energy (61 to 82), and light cross-off winds. The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary,” and that about sums it up.

From Tuesday the 21st onward, the swell drops right off. We’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft for the rest of the forecast period. The combined energy drops into the single digits and teens by the end of the month. The wind stays mostly light and cross-off, keeping the water clean, but there’s just no push. The period drops down too, with some shorter-period windswell mixing in, but it’s all for nothing. By the time we roll into the first week of August, the 1st and 2nd, the last few rows show a tiny bump of 0.7ft to 1ft and a moderate energy of 31 to 47, but it’s still classified as “poor surf conditions.”

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The tiny window of glassy conditions on Sunday the 19th morning is the best on offer, purely because of the clean conditions, but the swell is just too small to call it a winner. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, so this kind of blank run isn’t unusual for the area. It’s a waiting game, folks.

Rusty.
