The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown on Playa de Arrigunaga for the next couple weeks. It’s gonna be a slow grind.
We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny surf and poor conditions right off the bat. From Monday the 10th through Tuesday the 18th, it’s pretty much dead. Swell barely hits 0.6m to 0.9m, and the wave energy is weak—most readings are in the 60s and 70s (combined energy). There’s a brief window on the afternoon of Saturday the 15th where the swell gets to 1.0m from the NNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and it’s a 1 out of 10. Not worth suiting up for.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday the 19th morning. The wind goes offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, cleaning things up, with a 0.9m NW swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 107 (moderate), and it’s called "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s tiny, but if you’re jonesing, that early glass might give you a few knee-high rides.
Then another gap of poor surf through the 20th and into the 21st. On Friday the 21st morning, there’s a moment with 0.6m swell, a 10-second period, and glassy conditions from the ENE at 3 mph. The combined energy reads 130 (moderate), but the height is just too small.
The best shot comes on Saturday the 22nd morning. Swell is 0.9m from the NNW, 10-second period, glassy wind from the NW at 3 mph, and the combined energy hits 175 (moderate). The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." This is your standout, but it’s small, it’s a beach break, and that 10-second groundswell might close out. Still, clean and a little energy.
Sunday the 23rd morning also looks clean with 1.0m NW swell, 8-second period, and glassy WSW wind at 3 mph (combined energy 138). Small but rideable on a log.
Overall, it’s a lean run. Nothing over 1.0m, and the few clean windows are marginal. Beginners might find the size okay, but the quality is lacking. Experienced surfers won’t find any power. If the offshore wind holds on those mornings, you might squeeze out a fun little session, but don’t hold your breath.
Keep checking, forecasts can change. I’ll be here.

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.

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.
