Alright, let’s switch to old-school numbers. Rusty here.
First thing you need to know: the water is ridiculously warm. Playa de Arrigunaga is reading 72°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than the usual for this time of year. That’s a proper anomaly.
The whole 16-day window opens with a flash in the pan on Friday, July 3rd. Friday morning is the only real standout. There’s a clean 3ft swell from the NW, with a nice 12-second period pushing some decent energy through (316 combined energy). The wind is glassy, almost nothing. That’s the kind of morning you call in sick for. It’s a sandbar break, fairly consistent, so you’ll have company, but the conditions are going to be pristine.
After that, it’s a long, grim stretch. Friday afternoon the wind shifts and the quality dies. Saturday the 4th has a glassy start, but the swell is already dropping. From Sunday the 5th all the way through to Saturday the 18th of July, it’s a desert. We’re looking at tiny waves under 2ft, short periods, and onshore winds chopping everything up. Combined energy drops into the double digits or low hundreds, which is basically nothing. The odd glassy morning pops up, like on the 10th, 11th, and 15th, but the swell is so small you’ll be floating around waiting for a ripple. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a proper dry spell.
The only game in town is that Friday morning, 3rd of July. If you want a wave, that’s it. The rest is a wash.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
