The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at Playa de Arrigunaga for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is 72°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s nice.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 6th of September morning is your best early option. Clean 5ft swell from the NNW, 12-second period, glassy calm. The energy’s solid at 524, so there’s some proper push. The wind is off the land, so it’ll be tidy. It’s a sandbar, intermediate level, fairly consistent, and crowds are often here, so you’ll have company.
Sunday afternoon turns to junk with onshore wind. Monday the 7th morning is tiny, 2ft, but glassy with a long 15-second period – a groundswell, so clean but might run a bit straight on the beach. Ordinary but rideable. The rest of Monday, all of Tuesday, and Wednesday the 9th are poor – onshore winds, showers, messy conditions. Thursday the 10th morning gives another chance: 4ft from the NNW, glassy, 10 seconds, energy at 351. Solid session. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are small and mostly ordinary.
Sunday the 13th morning is the next standout. Clean 3ft from the NNW, 13-second period, glassy, energy at 288 – that’s a clean groundswell that’ll shape up. Then Monday the 14th morning has a light offshore from the ESE, 4ft from the NW at 11 seconds, energy 297 – clean and punchy. Tuesday the 15th is marginal.
The real gem in the second week is Thursday the 17th of September morning. Glassy, dead calm, 5ft from the NW at 10 seconds, and a chunky energy reading of 450. That’s a proper session – clean and solid. Afternoons get a cross-onshore tickle, but mornings are gold.
After that, the last few mornings from the 19th to the 21st are small – 3ft to 3ft – but often glassy and rideable. Not a standout, but you can get a few.
Bottom line: Sunday the 6th morning and Thursday the 17th morning are your two standouts. Clean, glassy, and with enough size to get into a rhythm.
Stay sharp,
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.
