The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk surf at Playa de Arrigunaga.

Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy. The first session worth paddling out for is Sunday morning, September 13th. Small but clean – 4ft swell from the northwest with a long 13-second period. Wind is glassy from the southeast. Moderate energy at 490, so it’s got some life. Crowds are common here, so plan accordingly.

Monday morning the 14th is also good – 4ft from the NNW, 12-second period, and offshore winds from the ESE. Clean lines all morning.

Now, the big one is Saturday morning, September 19th. This is a serious swell: 7ft from the NNW, very long 14-second period. Energy is pumping at 1538. Glassy southeast winds. This is expert-level surf – clean, powerful, and well-spaced sets. Not for beginners.

Sunday morning, September 20th drops to 6ft from the NNW, 12-second period, glassy from the east. Very good, but expect the lineup to be thick.

Monday morning, September 21st is the other standout. 7ft from the NNW, 14-second period, energy cranking at 1879. Glassy southeast winds. This is the session for experienced surfers only.

From Tuesday the 22nd, the swell eases but remains clean through Wednesday. Thursday and Friday get messy with onshore winds. The final days, September 27th and 28th, go flat – nothing doing.

Best call: September 19th and 21st – big, glassy, powerful groundswell. Everything else is small early or blown out late.

Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Arrigunaga Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa de Arrigunaga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Arrigunaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Arrigunaga surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Arrigunaga) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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.
