The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s coming.
Honestly, the first week is a bust. From Saturday 25 July all the way through the 1st of August, the surf is a mess. The swell is polluted by a strong cross-shore wind blowing 25 mph, making it choppy and ugly. The wave energy is moderate (903) but you wouldn’t know it from the conditions. That’s a solid eight-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first glimmer of hope comes Monday the 3rd of August. Early that morning, the wind goes cross-offshore from the N at 12 mph, and the swell is 6ft from the N with an 8-second period. Energy is moderate (502) and the surf is clean. It’s still only a marginal call, though.
The real standout is Thursday the 6th of August. Arrieta (reef) is the spot. That morning, the swell jumps to 10ft from the NNE with a 9-second period, pushing the combined energy to a strong 1190. The wind is cross-offshore from the N at 19 mph, keeping the waves clean. At 10ft, this is expert territory only. The reef will handle it well, and the longer period will give you proper sets. Crowds can be an issue there sometimes, so expect a few other heads.
Friday the 7th of August keeps the energy going with 8ft from the NNE and a 9-second period, combined energy at 1095 (strong). Still clean with cross-off winds, but that Thursday morning is the best of the bunch.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So, be patient through the first week, then lock in the 6th of August. That’s your window.
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.
