The Lowdown

Alright, I'm looking at this for ya. Rusty here.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for Arrieta. There’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for right now. From Sunday the 26th of July right through to the end of the month, the wind’s just howling from the north and northeast, strong and cross-shore, messing up even the moderate sized swell that's showing. That 8 ft to 5 ft range from Sunday to Thursday is just blown out, not worth your time. We’re looking at a real flat spell from the middle of the week until the 1st of August.

Now, there’s a flicker of hope. Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd bring a real change. The wind finally swings offshore from the northwest, light on Saturday morning and gentle from the west on Sunday. This cleans everything right up. The swell’s only in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, coming from the north-northeast, but it's clean, it's surfable, and after that dry spell, it'll feel like a win. The combined energy is weak to moderate (255), so don't expect power, just clean little lines for a cruiser board. Arrieta is a sheltered reef, pretty inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for sets, but with light offshore wind, the wait will be in smooth water. The water temp is a normal 72° for this time of year.

After that, it looks like the northerly wind returns Monday the 3rd and it’s back to square one with cross-offshore wind and poor conditions. The swell builds again through the 4th of August, with 7 ft on Tuesday, but it’s just more messy onshore junk. We even see a pulse of strong energy (over 1000) on the 6th, 9th, and 10th of August, with 8 ft to 10 ft swell, but the wind stays strong from the north-northeast, cross or cross-off, making it a wind-blown mess. For a reef that’s picky about direction and consistency, this just isn't the one. This setup, with that much wind and average quality, might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer through the second week.

Stick to the 1st and 2nd of August for your best chance at something clean, but don't get your hopes up for anything epic.

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.
