Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for the next 16 days, we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch at Playa de Arrigunaga. The truth is, there just isn't any surf worth paddling out for. The entire 16-day window is a write-off, so we’re talking about a solid two weeks with no real recommendations.
Right now, it’s a flat spell. The first few days bring tiny, weak 2ft NW windswell with hardly any energy (76 moderate energy), and the water is sitting at 73° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. You’d be floating around in a bath with no waves. Even the rare glassy mornings on Friday the 10th and Sunday the 12th, with the wind going dead calm, can’t save it because there’s just nothing to ride.
The long-range stuff around the 22nd of July and the 24th of July does show a small bump in swell height, with 5ft to 6ft NW swell, and the energy finally climbs into the three-digit range (205 to 423 moderate energy). But the problem is the wind. It’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so that bump will be a messy, choppy, blown-out affair. For a sandbar setup like Arrigunaga, this is more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one. It’s just not lining up for us.
Take heart, though. For an area like this, a blank run isn’t abnormal. Forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on it, but for now, give the board a rest.
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.
