The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at the surf outlook for Playa de Arrigunaga.
Alright, it's a bit of a slow start for the next week or so, but there's a ripper of a window coming up towards the end of July and into the very start of August. The first few days are pretty quiet, with only tiny, weak swell and poor conditions, so don't bother waxing up just yet. There's a solid gap of no real surf recommendations from now until late July.
The first real sniff of something decent arrives on the morning of Monday, 27 July. The swell is still only 4.3ft from the WNW with a modest period, but the wind is glassy, so it'll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (197). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Now, the standout is Tuesday, 28 July. The morning session is the one to circle. We've got a clean 8.2ft NW swell with a decent period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy, so it's going to be firing. The combined energy is strong (987). This is proper, clean, and powerful. However, note that at 8.2ft, this is getting into expert-only territory. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 9.8ft, and the forecast says it's too big for this break, so stick to the morning.
Wednesday, 29 July is also a cracker. The morning is clean with a 7.5ft NW swell and a cross-offshore breeze, with strong energy (1120). Again, this is a big swell for experts only. After that, the swell drops back through the 30th, but the conditions remain clean with a cross-offshore breeze.
The water temperature is 74.3°, which is a massive 5.4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's very unusual. The water will feel like a bath.
The upcoming Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the best on offer. It's a bonafide groundswell event, so the waves will have good shape and energy, but it's going to be big, so only the experienced crew should be out there.
