The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Playa de Arrigunaga has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you: it’s a slow start. The first few days are pretty much a write-off for a proper surf. We’ve got small, short-period windswell and choppy onshore winds making a mess of things. The water is sitting at 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a solid 5°F above average—so at least you won’t be cold if you go for a paddle, but you won't be catching much.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 27th in the morning. After a string of poor conditions, we finally get a bit of a pulse. Swell is coming from the NNW at 5ft with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy—dead calm. That’s going to clean the place right up. The combined wave energy is strong, hitting 510, so there’s some push behind it. This is the standout window in the whole forecast. It won’t be perfect all day, though; by Monday afternoon the wind swings NE and it gets a bit lumpy.
Tuesday the 28th morning is still worth a look. Swell drops back a touch to 4ft from the NNW, period still a solid 10 seconds, and we get a light cross-off breeze from the east. It’ll be clean and rideable, but not as good as Monday morning. After that, things start to fade.
From Wednesday the 29th onward, we’re dropping back into smaller, weaker surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There are a few glassy mornings—like Sunday the 2nd of August—but the swell is tiny at 2ft, so it’s more of a longboard session than anything exciting. The second week looks very marginal overall, with no real standouts. If you’re a beginner, the bigger days (like the 6ft to 5ft range) are starting to get a bit much, but by the time the swell has any size, the wind is usually ruining it.
To sum it up: if you want the best surf in this 16-day window, you point your car at Playa de Arrigunaga for Monday the 27th morning. That’s the one. Everything else is small or messy.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Arrigunaga may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
