Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be honest, the outlook for Playa de Arrigunaga over the next 16 days is a bummer. There’s a huge gap of flatness at the start, and the surf doesn’t really show its face until the very end of the run.
The water is a balmy 73°F – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, a real oddity. The first real sniff of a wave doesn’t come until Monday, July 27th, so you’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, unrideable slop. The swell energy is almost always weak, sitting in the low double digits.
For the first two weeks, the swell is tiny, with periods as short as 4 to 6 seconds, meaning weak, disorganized waves. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, just making a mess of things. The morning of Tuesday, July 28th has a tiny 0.5m (2ft) swell from the NW with an 8-second period, but it’s cross-on and the energy is still only 81. It’s a real struggle.
The only time it gets interesting is on Monday, July 27th. The morning brings a 1.1m (4ft) swell from the NW with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 134, which is the best we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-on from the NNW at 5 km/h (3 mph), so it’ll be a little bumpy, but you might snag a few. The beach is a sandbar, fairly exposed to the NW, so it’ll catch what’s there.
Before that, Sunday, July 26th has a 0.8m (3ft) NW swell, but the energy is weak and the wind is onshore. Honestly, that setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.
So, the pick of the very poor bunch is Monday, July 27th morning. The swell is around 1.1m (4ft) from the NW, the energy is moderate, and the wind is light. It’s not a classic, but it’s your only real chance. The rest of the fortnight is a washout.
Rusty.
