The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Playa de Arrigunaga.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real standout window later in the week that’s got my attention. The water’s running at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.

The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, 10th September. The morning session is looking like the pick of the early days. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the NNW with a 10-second period. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the ESE, which means the surface will be like a mirror – proper clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (333), so there’s enough push to get you into some fun ones. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-shore, so the morning is definitely the move.

Friday, 11th September, is flat. Tiny 2ft swell with weak energy (72). Not worth paddling out for.

Saturday, 12th September, is more of the same – tiny, weak, and not happening.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Sunday, 13th September, is the standout. The morning is going to be special. We’ve got a 5ft groundswell from the NNW, with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (630) and it’s going to bring some proper shaped waves. The wind is glassy from the SE, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon gets a little more cross-shore, but the morning will be magic. This swell is best for the points and reefs, but at a sandbar break like this, those long period sets might break a little straight, so pick your line.

Monday, 14th September, is still very good. The morning offers a clean 4ft swell from the NNW with a 12-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze keeping things tidy. The energy is still solid (449). The afternoon gets a bit more ordinary.

After that, the surf steadily drops off. Tuesday, 15th September, starts small and gets blown out by a strong onshore wind in the afternoon. Wednesday, 16th September, is poor with onshore winds. We get a tiny bump on Thursday, 17th September, with a 4ft swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be weak and messy.

From Friday, 18th September, through to the end of the forecast on 24th September, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak, or blown-out conditions. The swell drops to under 2ft, and the energy is barely registering. There’s nothing to get excited about in that second week.

So, the call is clear: Sunday, 13th September, morning is the absolute best on offer. The Thursday morning is a solid backup if you can’t wait. The rest of the window is a write-off, but that one morning session looks like a proper gem.

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.
