Alright, let me tell you how things are shaping up.
Right now, we are in a pretty flat spell at Playa de Arrigunaga. The first week or so is a write-off with nothing but tiny, weak waves and a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind messing things up. The swell is small, under 3 feet, and the energy is just not there.
Things start to look a little more interesting around Monday, July 13th. We get a little bump in size, with the swell coming from the Northwest and the energy picking up to a moderate 100. The real highlight is the morning: the wind goes dead calm, glassy as can be. It’s not a big wave, only about 3 feet, and the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy. But for a clean, small-wave session, it’s the best we’ve got.
Then, the afternoon gets a bit choppy again, and the following days drop back off into tiny surf with poor conditions. The second week doesn't offer much, with more of the same small swell and mostly onshore winds. There is a small spike on the morning of Monday, July 20th, with waves around 3 feet, but the wind is onshore and it’s not clean.
The best call in this whole 16-day window is that Monday morning, July 13th. It’s not going to blow you away, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and some glassy conditions, that’s your window. The rest of the period is best spent doing something else.
