The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf at Playa de Arrigunaga.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy. The first session worth paddling out for is Sunday morning, September 13th. Small but clean – 4ft swell from the northwest with a long 13-second period. Wind is glassy from the southeast. Moderate energy at 490, so it’s got some life. Crowds are common here, so plan accordingly.
Monday morning the 14th is also good – 4ft from the NNW, 12-second period, and offshore winds from the ESE. Clean lines all morning.
Now, the big one is Saturday morning, September 19th. This is a serious swell: 7ft from the NNW, very long 14-second period. Energy is pumping at 1538. Glassy southeast winds. This is expert-level surf – clean, powerful, and well-spaced sets. Not for beginners.
Sunday morning, September 20th drops to 6ft from the NNW, 12-second period, glassy from the east. Very good, but expect the lineup to be thick.
Monday morning, September 21st is the other standout. 7ft from the NNW, 14-second period, energy cranking at 1879. Glassy southeast winds. This is the session for experienced surfers only.
From Tuesday the 22nd, the swell eases but remains clean through Wednesday. Thursday and Friday get messy with onshore winds. The final days, September 27th and 28th, go flat – nothing doing.
Best call: September 19th and 21st – big, glassy, powerful groundswell. Everything else is small early or blown out late.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
