The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s call it like it is – there’s nothing doing at Arrieta across this whole 16-day stretch. Every single surf session in the data is marked as poor, so there’s no day I can tell you to paddle out. That’s a full gap from now right through to the 21st of September. Arrieta’s an inconsistent reef that only breaks sometimes, so a stretch like this, while a bummer, is more normal for the area. The combined wave energy starts off moderate, with a reading of 215 (weak) on the Sunday morning of September 6th, then bumps up to 441 on the 7th and 408 on the 9th, but none of it makes for decent surf. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off from the north and north-northeast, often a fresh breeze around 15 to 19 mph, keeping things clean in places, but the swell just isn’t delivering. Into the second week, the energy fades fast, with numbers dropping to 71 on the 19th, then down to 51 and 94 on the 20th, with tiny waves around 1 ft to 2 ft. There’s a bit of a long-period groundswell from the NNW showing up around the 14th with a 13-second period and moderate energy (318), but it’s still called poor conditions with a light cross-onshore wind. The water temp is 75°, running a touch warmer than normal for the time of year. Bottom line – nothing worth chasing here. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a quiet spell. 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.
