Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m gonna be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth chasing. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust, with no real standout sessions. The first actual surfable waves appear on Saturday morning, July 11th, with tiny 1ft swell from the NNW, but it’s a cross-off breeze, so it’s not completely messy. The water is sitting at 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit. The combined swell energy is a weak 88, so don’t expect any push.
From there, it’s pretty grim. Sunday the 12th sees a little 2ft NW swell with clean offshore winds in the morning, but the period is short at 9 seconds, so it’ll be weak and lumpy. The energy is only 62. Then we get a string of days with tiny surf and poor wind. Monday afternoon the 13th has a messy 2ft, Tuesday the 14th is glassy but flat with just 1.0ft, and Wednesday the 15th is glassy again but only 0.7ft.
We’ve got a gap of almost a week with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell picks up a touch around Tuesday the 21st, with 3ft from the NNW and glassy conditions in the morning, but the period is just 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not proper groundswell. The energy is weak at 66. By Wednesday the 22nd, we see the biggest numbers of the whole period: 4ft from the NNW with a 7-second period, and the combined energy finally hits a moderate 192. But the wind is cross-shore, and the report says "poor surf conditions" for every single entry. That’s a red flag.
The rest of the month is more of the same: small, short-period, onshore slop. The setup here is a beach, so with the wind and weak swell, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Playa de Arrigunaga is a fairly consistent spot, so a blank run like this is a bit unusual, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
