Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.
We’re looking at a flat, quiet spell for Playa de Arrigunaga. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any proper surfing. From Monday the 6th right through to Saturday the 18th of July, the wave heights are barely a whisper, mostly between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, with a weak combined swell energy that never gets strong (max 97 on the scale). It's frustrating because the conditions often look promising with light winds, some glassy mornings and cross-off breezes, but the swell just isn't there.
There’s no standout day in that whole stretch. The water temperature is notably warm at 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, so that’s one small comfort while you’re sitting there bobbing around on a flat day.
Around Monday the 20th of July, we start to see a tiny pulse again, but still nothing to get excited about. The swell energy is weak and the period is short. Then by Tuesday the 21st of July, the wind really starts to howl from the west and north-west, hitting 22-25 mph. There is a small increase in swell, with 3 ft and 4 ft on the cards, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 110 for the Tuesday afternoon. However, that’s coupled with strong onshore winds and rain showers, so the quality is going to be blown out and lumpy. Honestly, for a beach break like this, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
To put it bluntly, there is not a single good surf option in these 16 days. The ocean is just taking a long nap here. It’s a tough run but it happens; areas like this can go quiet, and a blank run is not unusual.
Rusty.
