Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, the start is flat out poor. There’s a big dry spell – nearly a week and a half with nothing worth chasing. The water is running at about 73°F, and that’s a good bit warmer than usual for this time of year, almost 5°F above average, so it’s a warm one.
First chance that’s even worth a look is Monday the 13th. Early morning, dead glassy with a light E breeze. Swell is tiny at about 4ft from the NW, but the period is short – only 7 seconds, pretty weak energy (102). It’s surfable, but just barely.
Next little window comes Monday the 20th. Again, glassy in the morning with a light ENE wind. Swell around 3ft from the WNW, still short period at 6 seconds, but energy picks up to moderate (132). Tuesday the 21st morning is similar – glassy, 3ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds, energy 107. Still just ordinary, but clean.
Now, the good stuff finally shows up. Thursday the 23rd of July is the first real standout. Swell jumps to about 5ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the energy hits strong at 297. Glassy conditions in the afternoon with WNW wind at just 3 mph. Clean waves and decent size – this is the first proper session. Not for beginners, but intermediates will love it.
Next morning, Friday the 24th, is another beauty. Glassy with W wind at 3 mph, swell around 5ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, energy 286. Clean again. But the afternoon gets ruined by a strong onshore wind, so get out there early.
The absolute best of the whole run? Sunday the 26th of July. Early morning, glassy – WNW wind at just 3 mph. Swell pushes to about 6ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, and the energy is massive at 569 – very strong. This is the biggest, most powerful swell of the whole forecast. The direction is perfect for the break, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be epic. This one’s for the experienced crew only – over 5ft and pushing 6ft. The afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore, so dawn patrol is the call.
So, you’ve got a long wait, but from the 23rd through the 26th, there are some proper sessions, especially that Sunday morning.
