The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for Playa de Arrigunaga. Water’s sitting at 74°, which is about 4° warmer than usual – that stands out. We kick off with a few clean ones. The real prize is the morning of Saturday September 5th: a solid 7ft swell from the NNW, 13-second period, and wave energy at 1336 (strong). Wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll shape up okay, but at 7ft that’s for experienced surfers only. The morning of Sunday September 13th is another standout: 6ft from the NW, dead calm, energy at 736 (moderate) – glassy conditions will make the sandbars look clean. Crowds are common here, and the spot’s fairly consistent. For the first few days: Sunday August 30th morning has a 4ft NW swell with glassy wind – easy fun for intermediates. Monday September 1st morning brings 6ft NW, glassy calm, and energy at 542 (moderate). Midweek gets small, with Wednesday September 2nd morning at 3ft – rideable but ordinary. Friday September 4th afternoon sees a 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period, but onshore wind ruins it. Saturday September 5th morning is the big one. Sunday September 6th morning cleans up to 4ft NW with offshore wind – a good option. Monday September 7th is glassy but tiny at 3ft. Tuesday September 8th is onshore and messy. Wednesday September 9th morning jumps to 8ft from the NNW – expert only, and choppy. The second week thins out: Thursday September 10th morning is clean at 4ft, Friday September 11th is flat and weak. Saturday September 12th morning picks up to 4ft NW with clean conditions and good energy (485). Sunday September 13th morning is that glassy 6ft standout. Monday September 14th morning goes glassy with 7ft NW and 11-second period – another expert gem. That’s your best late window.
Rusty.
