The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Gonna give it to you straight: the next two weeks are a dead zone for surf. We’re looking at days of flat, tiny, crummy waves. The first real movement doesn’t even show up until Monday, July 20th, and even then, the wind is trash. So, get ready for a solid four-day blank run. The water is warm, 74°F, which is about 5°F above normal, so it’s a bit of a bath.
The only day that’s worth a damn is Monday, July 27th in the morning. That’s your window. The swell hits 4ft from the NW, period is only 8 seconds, but the wind is totally glassy. Playa de Arrigunaga will have clean, surfable waves. Combined energy is moderate at 193. It’s the only time in the whole 16-day forecast that gets a score over zero. It’s a fairly consistent sandbar, so expect some other folks out there.
Everything else is a letdown. The morning of Tuesday, July 28th is glassy, but the swell is only 3ft with weak energy. After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy junk. The last day of the month, Friday, July 31st, shows a bit more energy at 153 with a 3ft NW swell, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be clean.
Forget the whole forecast. Just mark your calendar for the morning of Monday, July 27th. That’s your one and only call.
Rusty.

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.
