The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Playa de Arrigunaga. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, but the back half of the forecast has some real clean windows. If you can be picky, you’ll be rewarded.
Right now, Sunday the 6th is a total washout – storm risk and cross-onshore wind, so don’t bother. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have tiny, glassy 2ft waves in the morning – barely worth it, but clean if you’re keen for a paddle. The combined energy is weak (217 and 105), so not much power behind it. Water temp is 72°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
Wednesday the 9th jumps to 6ft from the NW, but it’s short-period (8 seconds) and onshore. It’ll be a mess – not worth the effort.
The first real standout is Thursday morning, the 10th. We’ve got clean 5ft from the NNW, 10-second groundswell, glassy. The combined energy is moderate (401). This is your best early call – clean, manageable, and fun before the wind picks up.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are small and forgettable. Sunday the 13th, though, is a beauty. Morning session: 3ft from the NNW, long 13-second groundswell, glassy, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (357). This is a proper Arrigunaga morning – clean lines and not much crowd.
Monday the 14th keeps it going: 4ft from the NNW, 12-second period, glassy. Energy is moderate (382). Another morning worth setting the alarm for.
Things go onshore and rainy from Tuesday the 15th through Thursday the 17th. The swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is rubbish. Not our time.
Friday the 18th bumps to 5-6ft from the NW, 12-second period, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. Energy is strong (710), but it’s not clean. Might be better for the kite guys.
The final weekend is where it really comes together. Saturday the 19th morning: 4ft from the NW, 10-second period, clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (362). Sunday the 20th morning: 4ft from the NW, 11-second period, glassy, moderate energy (364). And Monday the 21st morning: 4ft from the NW, 11-second period, glassy, energy at 431. Three mornings in a row of clean, surfable waves – that’s a proper run.
If I had to pick one absolute standout, it’s Sunday the 13th – that long-period groundswell, glassy, and cross-offshore wind is about as perfect as it gets here.
Rusty.
