Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s talk Playa de Arrigunaga in feet and miles per hour. The water’s about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But the surf? It’s a tough stretch, plain and simple. We’ve got 16 days on the table, but there’s a big dry spell.

Through the first week, up to around July 16th, it’s tiny. Waves are 0.7 ft to 3 ft, with combined energy all under 100 — weak stuff. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the period is short, under 10 seconds. A couple of glassy mornings on the 14th and 15th, but the swell is too small to bother. It’s a long gap of nothing.

Around July 20th, we get a little bump. Monday the 20th morning has a 3 ft swell from the NW, but it’s a short period of 5 seconds, and the wind is onshore. Energy hits 40 in the morning, 65 in the afternoon, but it’s still choppy and cross-on. Not a good time.

The best, and really the only standout, is Tuesday July 21st. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the NNW, period around 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 155 — that’s moderate energy. The wind is onshore, so it’s not clean, but it’s the biggest wave we’ve seen. That afternoon the energy drops to 96, still poor. If you’re itching, that Tuesday morning is your best shot: waves just over 3 ft, but the wind is a buzzkill.

After that, it’s back to tiny, weak waves and onshore wind through the end of the month. Wednesday the 22nd has rain and 15-18 mph winds, so forget it. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are just 1 ft to 2 ft slop, with weak energy and cross-on winds.

Honestly, with this beach break setup, the weak swell and messy wind make it more of a kiteboarding spot than a paddle surfing spot. The only day an average intermediate might get something is Tuesday July 21st, and even that’s a stretch. The rest of the 16 days is a wash.

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.
