The Lowdown
Alright, I'm gonna be straight with you, it's a quiet period for Arrieta. This is a proper reef, not a wave you can just jump on, and for the first week and a half, the wind and swell just aren't playing ball. The waves are small and choppy, and the wind is mostly onshore or sideshore, making for a frustrating session. The water's a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, about 74°, but that's small comfort.
We're looking at a real dry spell. There's not much to talk about until the second week. The swell starts to pick up around the 24th of July, with waves pushing 8 feet from the NNE and combined energy hitting 1039 (moderate), but the wind is still a cross-offshore, so it's not clean.
The only real chance to get wet comes right at the end. On the 31st of July, the swell drops to a more manageable 5 to 6 feet from the N, with a short period. The wind finally eases to a moderate breeze, but it's still blowing from the side. The energy is weak, at 261. It's not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch. For a wave that's inconsistent and needs perfect conditions, this is a tough watch.

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.
