Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Playa de Arrigunaga. Right now and for the next couple of weeks, the surf is small and the conditions are mostly ordinary. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until mid-month, so we’re looking at a long gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The surf stays tiny, with poor surf conditions dominating the forecast.
The best option on offer looks to be Saturday morning, July 18th. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW swell coming through, with offshore E winds at 9 mph keeping things tidy. The combined swell energy is a solid 409 (moderate wave energy), and the swell period is 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with a bit of punch. This will be the standout session, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on it. The wind will be offshore, glassy clean, making for some fun lines on the sandbar. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but it can get crowded often, so expect company.
Before that, Tuesday morning July 14th is the first time we see anything surfable, with a 3ft NW swell (period 8 seconds) and glassy conditions. Combined swell energy is 140 (moderate), but the waves are ordinary. It’s a small, weak option. The Wednesday morning July 15th has a similar feel with 3ft NW swell and glassy wind, but still not much to write home about.
Later in the run, Saturday morning July 18th is the clear highlight. After that, Sunday morning July 19th has a 4ft NW swell with glassy wind (225 energy), but the conditions are just “ordinary” – not terrible, not great.
Water temperature right now is 72°F, which is 5° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so expect a noticeably warm ocean.
Keep your hopes pinned on that Saturday morning, July 18th. That’s the one.
Rusty.

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.
