The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the surf scene for the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.
Alright, we’re looking at a pretty grim run for Playa de Arrigunaga. The next few days are a write-off, with poor surf conditions and a messy cross-onshore wind. The swell is all over the place, short period, and weak. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, the 27th of July, with a bit more size, but it’s still a messy, marginal affair. The real standout, and the only decent window we’ve got, is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. Early on, we’ve got a clean 4.3ft NW swell, with a period of 10 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the ESE. The wave energy is moderate (314), and it’s looking clean. The NNW direction is a good match for the break’s optimum. This is the one to try and get on. After that, it’s a long, slow decline into tiny, weak swells and onshore winds for days. Wednesday, the 29th, has a glassy morning but the swell is tiny at 3ft and the energy is weak (122). There’s a second week blip on Monday, the 3rd of August, with another glassy start and a weak 2.3ft swell, but it’s hardly worth a paddle. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 74.7°, so you won’t need a thick suit. The crowds are often here, so expect company on that Tuesday morning. If you’re an intermediate looking for a clean, small wave, that Tuesday morning session is your best bet. The rest of the two weeks is a right-off.
