Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, let's talk in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, and this Playa de Arrigunaga forecast is a real bummer. We're looking at a long dry spell of tiny, weak waves and rubbish wind. The first day that's even worth a look is Saturday the 11th, and even then, it's a struggle.

The first week is a total washout. From Monday the 6th through Friday the 10th, you've got waves around 1 to 2 feet, with a lot of cross-on and onshore wind. The wave energy is weak, in the 27 to 71 range. It's clean in the mornings sometimes, but there's just no wave to push you.

Saturday the 11th morning is the first real chance. The wind goes glassy from the NNE at 3 mph, and we get a clean 2-foot swell from the WNW. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it's weak, but it's glassy and the energy is 84. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. The afternoon turns to cross-shore wind and it's back to square one.

Sunday the 12th is a write-off with onshore wind. Then Monday the 13th morning, we get a little pulse. The swell hits 3.6 feet from the NW, with a short 8-second period. The energy is up to 177, which is a moderate amount. The wind is light cross-shore from the NNE at 3 mph, so it's not clean, but it's the most size we've seen in a while. Still, the conditions are poor for the size.

The rest of the second week is flat. From Tuesday the 14th to Thursday the 17th, we're back to tiny waves, 0.6 to 1.3 feet, with glassy mornings but no power. The energy drops to 13 and 14. It's a proper lull.

Then Friday the 17th afternoon throws a curveball. The swell jumps to 4.6 feet from the NW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the NW at 12 mph. The energy is 226, but with that wind, it's going to be a messy, choppy mess. This is more for the kite surfers.

Finally, on Sunday the 19th, we see the biggest swell of the whole period. The morning and afternoon both show 7.2 feet from the NW, with a period of 7-8 seconds. The combined energy is massive, hitting 507 in the morning and 573 in the afternoon. But the wind is onshore from the NW at 12 mph, so it's going to be a big, blown-out, lumpy mess. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it's a battle. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The water temperature is a very unusual 72.3°F, which is a full 5.4°F warmer than normal for this time of year. You can leave the wetsuit at home.

Best on offer: The Saturday 11th morning session is the cleanest we'll see. The other option is the Monday 13th morning for a bit more size, or the Sunday 19th if you want to get pounded.

Information about the Playa de Arrigunaga Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa de Arrigunaga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Arrigunaga surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Arrigunaga) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Playa de Arrigunaga is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Getxo. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Getxo. Getxo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
