The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch ahead. For the first nine days, the surf is pretty much a no-go. We’re talking flat to tiny, weak waves with poor conditions almost every session. The swell energy is pitiful, barely cracking 69 (combined energy) on the 1st of August, and it just drops from there. Winds are a mix of onshore or cross-shore, and even the glassy mornings are met with hardly any swell. You’re looking at a long, quiet spell until we get towards the second week.
There is a flicker of hope on Monday the 10th of August. The morning brings a glassy, calm surface with a clean 4 ft swell from the NW, period of 8 seconds and a moderate energy of 156. It’s still not all-time, the commentary says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but it’s the first real chance to get wet without it being a total write-off. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only other half-decent window is the afternoon of Sunday the 9th of August. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy jumps to 296, which is a nice little pulse. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit choppy. If you’re desperate, you might find a bump, but it’s not the cleanest.
Beyond that, the rest of the 16 days fades back into tiny, onshore slop with energy readings in the teens and twenties. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry patch. Keep your eye on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this quiet for long.
Rusty.
