The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat. The first surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 9th. That’s a solid stretch of small, weak waves and poor conditions, with combined swell energy barely cracking 41 on the best of those days. So, you’re looking at a gap of about nine days with nothing happening.
The first real sign of life comes on Sunday morning, August 9th. The swell picks up to 5ft out of the NW, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy jumping to 382. The wind is glassy, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°. This is a clean offering, but that swell size is getting into the range where beginners might feel a little out of their depth.
Then, Monday morning, August 10th, is the standout. The swell is 6ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 434. Winds are glassy again. 6ft of NW swell on a fairly exposed sandbar with glassy conditions is a good call. This is the best session in the whole outlook. The wind is light, the sets will have some push, and the break is fairly consistent. The only downside is that it’s a sandbar, so with that period (8 seconds) it’s not going to be a super long-walling groundswell, but for a clean, punchy morning, this is your pick.
Tuesday morning, August 11th, still has some size at 4ft from the NNW, but the wind is cross-on, which will mess up the surface. The energy drops to 204.
After that, it fades back into small, weak, and choppy conditions for the rest of the outlook. Nothing else comes close to the Sunday and Monday mornings.
If you’re a beginner, the Sunday and Monday mornings will be a bit of a challenge with that 5ft to 6ft swell. For the experienced crew, Monday morning is the one to circle.
Rusty.
