The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here again, this time in feet and Fahrenheit. Let’s talk about Playa de Arrigunaga. We’ve got a tiny spike of surf right at the start, then a whole lot of flatness.
The action, such as it is, begins on Monday, July 27th. The morning session is the one to aim for. A 5-foot swell from the NNW, with a 11-second period, is pumping in. The combined energy is moderate (513). The wind is glassy out of the N, so the surface will be like a mirror. The water is warm at 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The afternoon on Monday gets cross-shore, and things get messy. Tuesday morning, July 28th, still has a rideable 4-foot swell from the NNW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE keeping it clean, but the energy is dropping (320). That’s your lot.
From Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to August 11th, it’s a desert. The swell drops below 3 feet, the periods get short and weak, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making everything choppy and unrideable. The energy values drop into the double digits – just a ripple. It’s a long, flat run for over a week.
So, the standout is Monday morning, July 27th. That’s your one chance. The break is a sandbar, fairly consistent when there’s swell, but it’s a beach break, so that long-period groundswell might make it a bit walled-up. Still, with glassy conditions and a clean 5-foot, it’s the best we’ve got. Crowds are often an issue, so expect a lineup.
Keep your chin up – it tends not to stay poor for long around here, and forecasts can change. Rusty out.
