Alright, gang, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at Playa de Arrigunaga.
Right up front, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing special. From now until around July 12th, the waves are tiny and poor. You’ll see some glassy moments—like Sunday the 5th morning with a clean 2ft swell from the NNW, period of 11 seconds—but the energy is weak (116), and it’s just “ordinary.” Not a standout.
The wind kills it for days: onshore and cross-onshore winds ruining the small bumps. Swell stays around 1ft to 2ft, and energy drops as low as 25 (weak). This is a total bust for paddle surfing.
On Sunday the 12th, there’s a brief bright spot: morning offshore wind from the ESE at 9 mph, with 2ft swell from the NW and a 10-second period. Energy is 88 (weak), but it’s clean. First real sign of life.
The absolute best bet, the only true highlight, is on Sunday the 19th of July. That morning is glassy with a light NE breeze at 3 mph. Swell hits 3ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, and energy jumps to 243 (moderate). It’s still “ordinary,” but it’s the best of the bunch. That afternoon picks up to 6ft from the NW with strong energy at 589, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it messy and too big for beginners. For the experienced crew, that Sunday morning on the 19th is your call. Crowds are often here, so plan ahead.
Water temp is normal for the season. So, a long dry gap, a small clean window on the 12th, and one decent morning on the 19th. Not great, but forecasts can change.
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.
