The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a decent window early on, but it tightens up fast. Tuesday morning (July 28th) is actually our pick of the whole outlook. Playa de Arrigunaga is seeing a clean 4ft swell out of the NNW with a 10-second period, and a light easterly breeze is keeping things cross-offshore. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is reading 320, which is solid moderate energy. You’ll be stoked.
That Tuesday afternoon is still okay but the wind shifts cross-shore, and the swell drops a hair to 4ft, making it more of a so-so session. After that, don’t get your hopes up. From Wednesday (July 29th) all the way through until Friday, August 7th, we’re looking at a real dry spell. The surf is mostly poor, with tiny waves, onshore winds, and very low energy values. There are a few glassy mornings in there, like on August 3rd, 4th, and 5th, but the swell is barely 2ft – not enough to paddle for.
Then, around Friday, August 7th, we see a pulse of life. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW on Friday morning, with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 256. That’s a promising sign, but it’s a long way out. The following weekend (August 8th) shows a 3ft NW swell, also glassy in the morning, but the energy is moderate at 107.
The real late-stage standout is shaping up for Sunday, August 9th and Monday, August 10th. The swell is pushing 6ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 587 – that’s strong energy. This is a proper groundswell, but keep in mind that big, long-period swell like this can be a bit unruly on a beach break like Playa de Arrigunaga. It’s going to be more of a challenge for the experts, and potentially too much for beginners. Also, the wind is forecast to be onshore, so the surface might be a bit bumpy. It’s a promising sign, but we’ve got a week to see if it holds.
So, to sum it up: Tuesday morning is your best bet. Then we have a long gap of poor to no surf until Friday, August 7th, with the biggest potential coming on the 9th and 10th, but with a wind caveat.
Rusty out.
