The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Arrieta over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch. The next several days are a write-off, with poor surf conditions dominating right up until the middle of next week. The swell is on offer but a persistent cross-shore wind messes up any chance of clean waves, leaving the surface lumpy and choppy. For the first week, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for.

We finally see a glimmer of hope around Monday the 17th of August. The wind starts to ease, turning light and cross-offshore, cleaning things up. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That Monday afternoon, the swell is a clean 5 ft from the North with a 9-second period (moderate wave energy of 400), but the conditions are only marginal, with tide potentially playing up.

The best of the run looks like it falls on the 23rd of August, a Sunday. The swell builds to a solid 7-7 ft from the North, with a 10-second period, and combined energy hits 882. That’s a strong, punchy swell. Winds are light to moderate and cross-offshore, meaning the surface will be clean. At that size, this is a spot for the advanced crew only. The break is a reef and inconsistent, so it won’t be a non-stop show, but when a set comes through, it’ll have some proper power.

Before that, the 18th and 19th of August offer small, clean but very ordinary conditions with 4-5 ft swell and light winds. Nothing to get excited about. Then a few more poor days of moderate wind kick in before the better Sunday window.

Overall, the end of the second week is the only real stand-out, with a clean, solid groundswell on the Sunday. Given the inconsistency of the spot and the long-range call, it’s promising but keep your expectations in check.

Rusty.

Information about the Arrieta Surf forecast

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

Arrieta is 12 km (7 miles) from Teguise. If you plan a holiday in Lanzarote, look for hotels and other accommodation in Teguise. Teguise has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
