Alright, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Playa de Arrigunaga over the next couple weeks.
I gotta be honest, this stretch is lookin’ pretty dead for a while. For more than two weeks straight, through the middle of the month, the swell is tiny – mostly under 2 ft. We get a few glassy mornings, like Sunday the 12th and Tuesday the 14th, but the wave energy is real low, in the single digits or low tens (13 to 99). There’s just not enough push to ride.
The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, feelin’ like 73° with a big 3° anomaly. That’s pretty unusual. It’s warm enough for a shorty, but you won’t need it for the surf.
The first real sign of life pops up on Monday the 20th of July. Swell bumps to 3 ft from the WNW, with moderate energy (133). But you got a moderate onshore breeze blowin’ at 12 mph, so it’s gonna be choppy. That hangs around into Tuesday the 21st with similar sized swell and lighter wind – still nothin’ to call home about.
The best chance you’ll get is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. Swell sits around 3 ft from the NNW, but you’ve got a light offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph, keepin’ the surface clean. The energy is moderate (81). It ain’t a perfect day, but it’s the only morning in the whole run that’s considered surfable. This spot is a sandbar break, fairly consistent and fairly exposed, so it can handle a bit of swell. The ideal direction is NW, so this NNW swell is a little off, but it’ll wrap in okay.
Crowds won’t be a problem – there just ain’t enough surf to draw anyone out. For the rest of the time, leave the board in the car.

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.

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.
