The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks. Things are pretty flat to start, but there’s some good energy building for the second half. The water’s about normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first few days are nothing to write home about. Monday morning at Playa de Arrigunaga has a tiny 2ft NW swell, but it’s glassy, so you might snag a few soft ones. The energy is weak (216). After that, onshore winds blow it out Tuesday and Wednesday, so save your energy.
The first real standout is Thursday, September 10th. That morning we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, with glassy conditions and a solid 10-second period. The energy is moderate (340). This is the pick of the first week – clean, punchy, and fun for an intermediate. That swell direction is right on the money.
Friday the 11th is a letdown, with small surf and weak energy, so take a breather.
Now, the next big one is Sunday, September 13th. That morning is a stunner – 5ft of NNW groundswell with a long 13-second period, and it’s dead glassy. The energy is strong (656). This is a true standout. That long period will give the sandbar some nice shape, with longer lulls between sets making the paddle out easier. It gets a touch bigger in the afternoon to 5ft with a 14-second period, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is the session.
Monday, September 14th morning is also a cracker – another 5ft NNW swell, 12-second period, glassy, with strong energy (563). A solid follow-up.
The next week keeps it interesting. Thursday, September 17th morning has a clean 5ft NW swell, glassy, with moderate energy (538). That’s a nice one, but it gets bigger in the afternoon. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th also have clean mornings with 5ft NW swell, glassy, and moderate energy. All good, but that Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are the real highlights.
If you’re planning on the weekend of the 13th, expect crowds are possible at Playa de Arrigunaga, but the quality should make it worth the company.
So, a slow start, but the second week has some proper gems. Hit those glassy mornings.
