The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Playa de Arrigunaga.
The pick of the lot is Monday morning, July 27th. We’ve got a nice NW groundswell running 5ft with an 11-second period – combined energy is 513, which is solid. Wind is glassy out of the north at just 3 mph. That’s going to be clean, lined-up surf on a sandbar that likes this swell direction. It’s intermediate territory, fairly consistent, but be ready for company – crowds are often around.
Water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
Monday afternoon the NE wind picks up to 9 mph, turns cross-shore, and things get a bit chopped out. Tuesday morning the 28th is still worth a paddle – offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph, 4ft NW swell at 10 seconds, energy at 347 – clean enough. After that, it’s a long dry spell.
From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Monday August 10th, it’s mostly small, weak, or blown out. Swell drops under 3ft, periods fall to 6–8 seconds, and winds are onshore or cross-on for days. Some glassy mornings pop up, but wave heights are tiny – 1ft to 2ft max – and energy levels are below 100, basically flat most days. Not much to work with.
Saturday August 1st morning has a little bump at 3ft with glass, but at 119 energy and only 9 seconds, it’s just barely surfable.
Then on Monday August 10th we get another pulse – 3ft from the NW, glassy east wind, 184 energy. Still nothing special, more of a “maybe” session.
So if you want the real deal, it’s Monday July 27th morning. After that, you’re looking at a lot of small, quiet water until at least the second week of August.
Rusty.
