The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one – we're looking at a long, dry spell for Arashi Beach. The numbers are pretty grim through the whole 16-day window. You're not gonna want to paddle out.
Right now, and for the next week, there's basically nothing on offer. The forecast shows flat conditions and "poor surf conditions" day after day. It's a real bummer. We’ve got strong east winds blowing, mostly offshore or cross-off, which sounds good for the surface, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a clean, flat ocean. You’d be better off swimming.
Water temp at Arashi Beach (Aruba) is sitting pretty at 82° right now, which is about average for this time of year, no major anomaly to worry about. The water itself is fine; there's just no push.
Even the few tiny pulses we see – like a 0.3 ft swell from the north on Monday the 14th – are completely forgettable. The combined wave energy is so low, it's barely registering (3). That's a waste of a paddle.
We get another little tease on Monday the 21st of September with a short-period bump (0.7 ft from N, 8 seconds), but again the energy is weak (5). Objectively, there’s nothing here that qualifies as a surfable wave for anyone. It’s a solid blank run for the whole 16 days.
If the wind keeps up and there’s zero swell, the setup here is more interesting for kiteboarding than paddle surfing.
Honestly, this is the kind of run that’s more normal for a laid-back spot like this when there’s no tropical action. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.

Information about the Arashi Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Arashi Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Arashi Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Arashi Beach 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 (Arashi Beach) 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 Arashi Beach 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.
