Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks at Playa de Arrigunaga. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for surfers in this part of the world.
We’re looking at a long, quiet period to start. The first week is pretty much a write-off with hardly any energy on offer. We won’t see anything worth jumping in for until Saturday, July 11th. That’s a full gap of four days with no real recommendations before we see a glimmer of hope.
The standout window, if you can even call it that, looks to be around Saturday, July 11th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The morning session is the pick, with a glassy surface and a 2 ft swell from the NW, running at a decent 12-second period. That longer period gives the waves a bit of shape and push, with the combined swell energy sitting at a moderate 114. It’ll be surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. The wind is light and variable, so the waves will be clean.
Later that morning, the wind swings NE and goes cross-shore, making things a bit messier. The swell does pick up slightly to 2 ft, but the period drops a touch.
We’re going to run into another dry spell after that. The middle of the month sees a few days with a bit more size, like Wednesday, July 15th with a 4 ft onshore wind swell, but the quality is poor. It’s messy and blown out, more of a wrestling match than a surf.
Further out, around Sunday, July 19th, there’s a tiny blip of energy with a very long 14-second period groundswell, but at just 0.3 ft, you could barely call it a ripple. It’s glassy in the morning, but you’re just bobbing around.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, the early morning on Saturday, July 11th is your best bet for a clean but tiny wave. Bring a log and keep your expectations low.
Rusty.
