The Lowdown
Gather 'round, surfers. Rusty here. I'm looking at the 16-day window for Arrieta, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough patch. We're looking at a solid run of poor surf quality right through, with no standout days to get properly excited about.
The first hint of anything surfable happens on Saturday morning, August 1st. We’ve got a 5-foot swell from the NNE, but it’s a short-period 7-second wind swell, and the combined wave energy is only moderate at 281. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNW, which will keep it clean, but the reality is the waves are just very ordinary. The afternoon cleans up but drops to 4 feet, and the quality is still poor. It’s not a day to get the hopes up.
After that, we get a long stretch of nothing really worth paddling out for. The swell picks up in size, hitting 7 feet on Monday morning, August 3rd, with a combined energy of 483 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the NNE, making it lumpy and messy. The bigger waves on Tuesday, August 11th and Wednesday, August 12th, with 7-foot and 7-foot NNE swells, are still plagued by cross-shore winds or moderate cross-chop. The energy climbs into the 500s, but the conditions are just not cooperating for a clean ride. Those bigger swells over 8 feet never show up, but the constant wind and short period mean the quality is shot.
The only real shift comes late in the period. Around Friday, August 14th, the swell drops to 5 feet from the N with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the N. The energy is moderate at 351. It’s still not a standout, but it’s the cleanest the waves look for a solid week. The whole forecast is a lean one, mate. It’s a dead run for the most part, and that’s just how it plays out here sometimes.
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.
