The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Playa de Arrigunaga.
The start of this stretch is a bit of a bust. From the 4th through the 6th, it’s mostly small and onshore, not worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Your first real chance is Saturday the 5th in the morning. There’s a 0.8m NW windswell with a cross-offshore ENE breeze at 6 mph. The water will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (291), so it’s not powerful, but it’s a surfable little morning.
Sunday the 6th sees a 1.4m NNW groundswell with a period of 12 seconds, giving a moderate energy reading of 530. But the wind is cross-onshore, so the surface will be a bit bumpy.
The absolute standout is the morning of Thursday the 10th. It’s glassy, with a 1.2m NNW groundswell and 294 combined energy. The WSW wind is dead calm, and the water will be like glass. This is the session to chase. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s not a super long groundswell, but on the sandbar it’ll offer some fun corners.
Sunday the 13th morning is another good call: a 1.4m NNW groundswell with a cross-offshore ENE breeze at 9 mph. Clean faces and moderate energy (492). The swell direction lines up well.
Looking further out, Tuesday the 16th morning brings a 1.6m NW swell with a light offshore SE wind. That size is a bit much for beginners, but solid for experienced surfers. Clean conditions.
Thursday the 18th morning is tiny at 0.7m but glassy, and Saturday the 19th morning is small and glassy again. Perfect for a longboard if you’re not fussy.
There are gaps with no surf worth noting between the 4th and the 5th, and again from the 7th to the 10th. The best of the whole stretch is Thursday the 10th morning, with Sunday the 13th morning as a close second.
Keep your eyes on that Thursday glass-off.
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.
