Alright, grab a coffee and come sit with me. Rusty here, and I’ve had a good long stare at the charts for Playa de Arrigunaga.

To be straight with you, this is a tough 16-day run. The first ten days are a bust for any halfway decent wave. We’re looking at a whole lot of flat, small, and messy conditions with swell barely ticking over. You’ll see some clean mornings with glassy water, but the swell energy is just too weak – we’re talking readings mostly below 100 on the energy scale, and heights hovering around 1ft to 2ft. It’s pretty much a write-off for paddle surfing until the second weekend rolls around.

The one and only chance for a decent wave happens on Sunday the 12th of July. We get a pulse of moderate NW swell that pushes the energy right up to 535, with wave heights hitting 6ft to 6ft. That’s not a beginner wave. At that size, it’s definitely getting into intermediate and above territory, and for a beach break like this, it’s going to be a handful. The period is around 9 to 10 seconds, so there’s some decent shape to it, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the north, which will be putting a bit of bump on the faces. It won’t be glassy, but it’s all we’ve got.

The water temperature is running about 72°F, which is a wild 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll want a shorty at most, but honestly, you might not even need that.

After that little spike on the 12th, it drops right back down. The next few days are small and onshore again, with a bit of a lull by Wednesday the 15th. By Thursday the 16th, we are back to flat, glassy mornings with next to no energy.

So, the standout call? Sunday morning, July 12th. It’s not perfect, but it is the only real surf in this whole outlook. The wind is a slight cross-onshore, which is a shame, but the swell has enough size and energy to make it worth a look. Expect the crowd to be there too – it’s a fairly consistent spot and that’s the only game in town that day. If you’ve got a step-up board and you’re keen for a proper paddle, that morning is your window.

Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Arrigunaga Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa de Arrigunaga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Arrigunaga surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Arrigunaga) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.

Playa de Arrigunaga is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Getxo. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Getxo. Getxo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
