The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the outlook for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a quiet start. We’re looking at a solid 7 days of flat, poor conditions. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and there’s just nothing to get excited about. It’s the kind of dry spell that makes you hang up the board for a bit.
Things start to wake up a little in the second week. The first real sign of life hits on the morning of Friday, August 14th. We’ll see sets around 3 ft from the NW with an 11 second period and a combined energy of 189 (moderate). The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. It’s still just "surfable" with "very ordinary" conditions, but it’s a paddle.
The best bet, the only day I’d really plan for, is the morning of Tuesday, August 18th. The swell bumps up to a clean 4 ft from the NW, with an 8 second period and a combined energy of 239 (moderate). The wind is a cross-offshore from the E at 9 mph, which is perfect for this spot. It’ll groom the waves and give you something to work with. The water temp is a warm 75°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even a spring suit.
That Tuesday morning, the NW swell is a good fit for the beach. It’s a fairly exposed spot, so it’ll grab that energy. The short 8-second period means the waves will be a bit sectiony, not the best for deep barrels, but it’s the only clean window in the whole run. After that, the wind swings onshore and the swell gets messy, so don’t expect much.
For beginners, the biggest wave is only 4 ft, so it’s manageable, but the lack of consistent, clean waves makes it tough. For the experienced surfers, that Tuesday morning is your only real shot.
Rusty.
