Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Playa de Arrigunaga has cooking for the next couple weeks.
It's a pretty quiet stretch overall. The swell runs small for most of the outlook, and when it does pick up, the wind is usually in the wrong spot. A few windows line up, but you’ll need to pick your moments. Water temp is about normal for July.
The clear winner is Saturday morning, July 4th. You’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the northwest with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the northeast at just 3 mph. That means the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (185), so there’s enough juice for a fun session on a standard shortboard or a foamie. Crowds are common here, but with the small size, it’ll be mellow.
Sunday morning, July 5th, is another look. Swell drops to 2ft from the NNW with an 11-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, keeping the surface clean. Energy is weaker (111), so it’s a grovelly wave, but still surfable.
From Monday, July 6th through to Monday, July 13th, it’s mostly small and onshore. A pulse on Sunday afternoon, July 12th shows 4ft of swell, but the wind is onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, making it choppy.
Tuesday morning, July 14th, sees a light cross-offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph, with 3ft of NNW swell at a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate (134), but the short period means the waves will be weak and a bit lumpy.
Wednesday morning, July 15th, is glassy again with 2ft of 10-second NW swell. Low energy (110), but clean as a whistle for a log.
Saturday morning, July 19th, shows a small bump to 4ft from the NW at a 7-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (144), but the short period will make it a bumpy, weak ride.
Bottom line: Saturday July 4th morning is your best shot. Clean, glassy, small but fun. The rest of the window is a waiting game.
Stay patient, Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Arrigunaga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Arrigunaga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Arrigunaga surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Arrigunaga) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
