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 on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for Playa de Arrigunaga. The first week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch from now until about the 18th of July where the swell is tiny and the conditions are just messy. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves are barely there. It’s the kind of period where you’d be better off checking the forecast again later.
The energy in the water is weak, with combined energy values mostly sitting between 19 and 87, which is just a poor, weak signal.
The first real flicker of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 19th of July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 361 (moderate), so there’s some proper push. The problem is the wind is howling onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out affair. It’s not really surfable for a paddle; this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing.
The best chance for a surfable wave in this whole outlook looks like the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. We’ll have a 3ft NW swell with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy—absolutely dead calm. That’s a golden window for clean conditions. The combined energy is 95 (weak), so it won't be a world-beater, but those clean, glassy waves will be the best on offer. The break is a sandbar, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly, but it’s your best bet. After that, the 24th of July morning has a clean 3ft NNW swell with light cross-offshore winds, which will also be a fun little session.
So, to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing until the 19th, then a messy weekend, and your best window is the glassy morning of the 22nd. It's not a firing period, but that one morning could be a real treat.
Stay patient,
Rusty
