The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Playa de Arrigunaga. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. We’ve got a decent pulse of swell rolling in, but the winds are going to be the deciding factor. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real standout is Monday the 27th of July. Early morning glassy conditions with the wind coming from the north at just 3 mph. That’s a major positive. You’ll be looking at a clean, long-period NNW groundswell pushing in at 5 ft with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (523). The swell is from the NNW, which is a hair off the optimum NW direction, but with that glassy surface, it’s going to be the best session of the week. Expect a few more gaps between sets with that longer period, which makes paddling out a breeze. Keep in mind, this spot is a sandbar and can get crowded often, so get down early.
Tuesday morning the 28th keeps the momentum going. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft, still from the NNW, but the wind switches to a clean cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph. The energy is a bit lower (320), but the clean conditions will make for some fun, rippable waves. A solid choice for a weekday dawny.
We then hit a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the end of the first week of August, the swell fades away to tiny, weak, and mostly poorly conditioned waves. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a few glassy mornings with almost no swell, which is just a complete write-off. This flat spell runs for a solid week and a half.
Now, looking further out, things start to get interesting again. Saturday the 8th of August has some promise. The morning looks glassy again with a light WNW wind, and a NNW swell of 5 ft with an 8-second period pushing in. The energy is solid (370). The wind is perfect, but the shorter period means the waves won’t have the same grunt as the 27th. This is a promising option, but it’s a week and a half away, so the forecast is less certain.
The best on offer is clearly Monday the 27th of July. That glassy morning with a long-period groundswell is the pick of the entire forecast. The Saturday the 8th of August morning is the other one to keep an eye on if the long-range forecast holds.
Signing off, Rusty.
