The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's in the water for Arrieta over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a quiet stretch. We're looking at a long run of poor surf, with that persistent cross-shore wind messing things up. The first real glimpse of something rideable doesn't show up until Monday the 14th of September, and even then, it's just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The water is about 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The best chance to get a clean wave is the morning of Saturday the 19th of September. The wind drops to just 6 mph, shifting to a light offshore, which will glass the surface right up. The swell will be a small 4ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 311. It's not a big swell, but with those clean conditions, it's the best-looking window. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have to share the peak.
The rest of the outlook: The first week is a write-off. From Monday the 7th through the 13th, it's all poor surf conditions with strong, choppy winds. The swell gets a bit bigger on Friday the 11th with 7ft from the north and a combined energy up around 589, but it's still a windy mess. The second week cleans up a little, but the waves run small and inconsistent. The morning of the 19th is your best bet, then it fades into weak, small surf to finish off the period.
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.
