The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We're looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead, I gotta be honest. The forecast is dominated by poor surf conditions right through the 16-day window, with no real standouts to get excited about. The swell direction is mostly from the north, which is what blows in here, but the wind is the real killer. We're stuck with a persistent cross-shore breeze, often fresh to strong, which just chops everything up. There’s a bit of hope for cleaner conditions towards the end of the second week, but it's not exactly firing.

The first recommendation is for Arrieta (Spain) on Tuesday, the 25th of August. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, which is nice. But the surf is a no-go: a 5ft north swell with a 10-second period, cross-shore wind at 19 mph, and the comment says it all – poor surf conditions. The energy is a moderate 509. It's a write-off. The rest of the week is more of the same: small, messy, and blown out. The wind stays strong from the NNE, and any swell that does show up is just getting shredded.

We do get a pulse of bigger swell over the weekend of the 29th and 30th, with Saturday morning seeing a 8ft north swell (11-second period) and a whopping 1219 energy reading. But look at the wind – still a strong cross-shore at 22 mph. That's going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. Too big for beginners, and even for the advanced crew, it's not going to be pretty. Honestly, with that much wind and swell, this setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The first week of September is a rinse-and-repeat. The wind eases slightly on the 31st to a cross-off, giving us a cleaner surface, but the swell is a weak 5ft with a short 7-second period. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The real interest, if you can call it that, might be towards the very end. On the 8th of September, the swell period jumps to 12 seconds from the NNW, with a clean cross-off wind. The wave height is only 3ft, but that long-period groundswell will have some push. The energy is still moderate at 610. For a point break or reef, this could be a fun little clean wave, but it's a long way out and a very small window.

So, the bottom line: there's no classic standout session here. The nearest to a decent option is the 8th of September with its cleaner, longer-period swell, but it's small and two weeks away. For the rest, it's a battle against the wind, and the forecast confidence on that late window is low. It's a tough run for Arrieta.

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.
