The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a pretty grim stretch ahead. Playa de Arrigunaga is the only spot in the mix, and honestly, it’s a flat spell. The first decent sign of life doesn't show up until Thursday, August 13th, which means we’re looking at a solid two-week gap of near nothing. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so don’t bin your boards just yet.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, it’s all weak windswell. Swell heights are barely scraping 3ft, with periods mostly under 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, sitting in the double digits (anywhere from 14 to 120). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. There are a few glassy mornings, like Friday July 31st, Saturday August 1st, and Tuesday August 4th, but the swell is just too small—1ft to 2ft—to hold any real energy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
The only light at the end of the tunnel comes on Thursday, August 13th, in the morning. We finally see a pulse of 3ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, pushing the combined energy into moderate territory (148). The wind is calm and glassy, which is a major positive. The waves will be clean, but the size is still small, and the quality is described as ‘surfable but very ordinary.’ It’s the best we’ve got, but honestly, it’s not a standout. For beginners, it’s fine, but for anyone else, don’t expect much.
After that, the forecast drops off again, with no real promise in the following days.
So, the one and only highlight: Thursday morning, August 13th, at Playa de Arrigunaga. A tiny, clean, glassy wave with a bit of energy. Keep your expectations low, and you might get a few fun ones.
Rusty.
