The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Playa de Arrigunaga.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks look pretty quiet. There’s a real lull setting in, and for the first few days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. It’s going to be a slow start, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent until we get further into the forecast.
The first window where we see a little pulse arrives on the morning of the 7th of August. It’s not big, with swell around 3ft from the NW, and the period is short at 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 91, so it’s weak. But the wind is dead calm, glassy, and it’s clean. You could get a few fun ones if you’re desperate, but it’s still just ordinary surf.
The real standout, and the only one worth making a plan for, is the morning of the 16th of August. We get a bit more push with swell hitting 4ft from the NNW, and the period is still short at 7 seconds, but the combined energy climbs to 148 (moderate). The wind is light NW, glassy again. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s a sandbar break, so it’ll be a bit peaky, and with the short period, it won’t have much power. Still, for a clean, small-wave session, it’s your best bet. Water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, so you’ll be comfy in a shorty.
The rest of the time, it’s tiny, choppy, or onshore. There’s a long gap from the 1st right through to the 6th with nothing worth mentioning. Then again on the 8th and 9th, we get some onshore wind and a bit more size, but it’s messy. For the most part, this is a stretch of poor conditions. Playa de Arrigunaga is fairly consistent, so this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
