The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty.

Lookin’ at the next sixteen days for Arrieta, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a real gap of flat, poor-quality surf all the way from now until the tail end of the first week of September. The morning of September 7th is when this place finally starts to hold a bit of promise, but even that’s a marginal call. The waiting game is real.

From Tuesday the 25th of August through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s mostly a write-off. Cross-shore winds and messy chop, with swell energy bouncing around but the wave comment says poor conditions the whole way. A few afternoons get clean with that north wind going cross-off, but the swell just isn't doing us any favors. The combined swell energy gets up near strong levels on Friday the 28th of August, but it’s short-period, onshore junk. That’s more of a kite day, not a paddle day.

Now, the light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Monday the 7th of September. The morning has some decent energy with a 7 ft swell out of the north-northeast, but it’s still a bit cross-shore. The afternoon cleans right up though – cross-off wind, 7 ft of north-northeast swell, period sitting at 8 seconds. That’s a good clean surf setup. The energy is strong. This is the standout: Arrieta itself. It’s a reef, and inconsistent, but when it’s clean like this, it’s a quality wave. Just be warned, it can draw a crowd with that offshore wind.

Then Tuesday the 8th of September looks even better. We’ve got 8 ft of north-east swell, clean with moderate cross-off winds, period stretching to 9 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy coming through. This swell might be a touch big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s gonna be firing.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, no real anomaly worth shouting about. Just your standard warm summer feel.

Arrieta is your one and only real look here, but it's a good one if you can wait it out. The first week is dead, but that second week has some genuine standouts, especially the 7th and 8th of September. Keep an eye on the long-range calls, they always promise a bit.

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.
