Alright, grab a coffee and come sit with me. Rusty here, and I’ve had a good long stare at the charts for Playa de Arrigunaga.
To be straight with you, this is a tough 16-day run. The first ten days are a bust for any halfway decent wave. We’re looking at a whole lot of flat, small, and messy conditions with swell barely ticking over. You’ll see some clean mornings with glassy water, but the swell energy is just too weak – we’re talking readings mostly below 100 on the energy scale, and heights hovering around 1ft to 2ft. It’s pretty much a write-off for paddle surfing until the second weekend rolls around.
The one and only chance for a decent wave happens on Sunday the 12th of July. We get a pulse of moderate NW swell that pushes the energy right up to 535, with wave heights hitting 6ft to 6ft. That’s not a beginner wave. At that size, it’s definitely getting into intermediate and above territory, and for a beach break like this, it’s going to be a handful. The period is around 9 to 10 seconds, so there’s some decent shape to it, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the north, which will be putting a bit of bump on the faces. It won’t be glassy, but it’s all we’ve got.
The water temperature is running about 72°F, which is a wild 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll want a shorty at most, but honestly, you might not even need that.
After that little spike on the 12th, it drops right back down. The next few days are small and onshore again, with a bit of a lull by Wednesday the 15th. By Thursday the 16th, we are back to flat, glassy mornings with next to no energy.
So, the standout call? Sunday morning, July 12th. It’s not perfect, but it is the only real surf in this whole outlook. The wind is a slight cross-onshore, which is a shame, but the swell has enough size and energy to make it worth a look. Expect the crowd to be there too – it’s a fairly consistent spot and that’s the only game in town that day. If you’ve got a step-up board and you’re keen for a proper paddle, that morning is your window.
Rusty.
