The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down Playa de Arrigunaga for the next two weeks. First thing – there’s a dead zone right off the bat. From now through July 19, it’s near flat and messy. Nothing worth a paddle. Water’s sitting at 73°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual – feels like a hot tub, but there’s no surf to enjoy it in.
The first glimmer is Monday July 20 morning – a little 4ft NNE swell, period 6 seconds, glassy wind, but combined energy is only 128 (weak). Conditions are “surfable but very ordinary” – think knee‑high slop. Barely counts. That afternoon gets bumpy.
Then another stretch of poor days. Around July 25–26 a bigger NW pulse shows up – 4ft to 4ft, period 13–14 seconds, energy jumping to 277–440 (moderate) – but the wind is onshore and messy. Not clean. Skip it.
Now the real deal: Tuesday July 28 morning. That’s the standout. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell, period 11 seconds – solid groundswell. Combined energy is 824 (strong). Wind is dead calm, glassy. The swell direction matches the optimum NW – perfect alignment. This sandbar break will be firing. At 5ft it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediates and up will love it. Crowds are common here, so expect a line‑up, but that morning will be magic. The afternoon gets a cross‑onshore breeze that’ll mess it up.
Wednesday July 29 morning is also good – 5ft NW, period 10 seconds, light ENE cross‑off wind, clean, energy 377 (moderate). A nice backup if Tuesday doesn’t work.
Big gap of flatness before that, so patience pays off. July 28 morning is the one to chase.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Playa de Arrigunaga 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.
