The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Arrieta.
To be honest, it’s a rough run for the next week and a half. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until Saturday, August 1st, and even that is a marginal call. We’ve got a solid 11-day stretch of poor surf conditions before anything is worth even looking at. The wind is just a mess – mostly strong cross-shore breezes chewing up the swell, making it lumpy and messy. Not what you want.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 73°F, so that’s a small comfort if you’re just going for a paddle.
Now, the standout. If you’re patient and can wait, the best of the lot is looking like Sunday, August 2nd. Arrieta is a sheltered reef break, inconsistent, so it’s not a spot that lights up often. But on that morning, we’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the NNE, with a 9-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a strong 1507, which is the most powerful we’ll see. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the N at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s the call for the crew who know what they’re doing. It’s advanced-level stuff, and given it’s inconsistent, it’s a spot for the patient charger.
The days leading up to that are a write-off. The only other mention is Saturday, August 1st, with a 8ft to 8ft NNE swell, but it’s still a marginal forecast with questionable tide conditions. It’s better than the junk before it, but that’s not saying much. The wind is lighter, moderate breeze, and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the quality isn't there.
Anything after the 2nd, like on the 3rd and 4th, the swell drops back and the cross-shore wind comes back in, so it’s back to the struggle.
In short: wait for the early morning of August 2nd, or find something else to do. This one is all about timing.

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.
