The Lowdown

Alright, let’s be honest. This Arrieta forecast is a tough one. The water’s a touch warm at 74°, but that’s about the only good news. We have swell, but it’s all short-period and the wind is going to have the surface all chopped up for the majority of the next two weeks.

Thursday and Friday are straight up messy. The wind is cross-shore from the NNE, and the waves are in that 6 to 8 foot range, but it’s lumpy and closed out. The energy is moderate, but it’s not clean. Not worth getting wet for.

Over the weekend, the wind turns a bit more cross-offshore, which helps clean it up, but the swell stays short-period and in that 6 to 7 foot range. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to be fun. The wave energy is dropping, too.

Next week is more of the same. The swell hangs around 5 to 6 feet, but the wind stays mostly cross-shore. The period is poor, and the energy is weak. It’s just a lot of push without any shape.

There’s a tiny bump mid-week, but it’s still under the same winds. The following week, the size backs off quite a bit, down to 4 to 5 feet, but the period drops right off. The energy is weak. It’s small and weak.

There’s no standout day in this whole 16-day window. The combination of short-period swell and cross-shore winds means the setup is going to be poor. If the wind was offshore, we’d have something, but it’s just not happening. This is a waiting game. The forecast can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Keep your board in the car just in case, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
