The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Arrieta region over the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a pretty lean run, to be honest. The first couple of days are a write-off – barely a ripple and some nasty cross-shore winds. Thursday the 30th of July morning sees a jump in size to 7ft, but it’s a short-period (7 seconds) NNE windswell and the wind is howling cross-shore, leaving it lumpy and messy. That’s a no-go. This pattern of poor conditions persists right through the first week; the wind is relentless, mostly from the NNE at 19 to 22 mph, and the swell is short-period and weak. Saturday the 1st of August afternoon is the first time we get a “surfable” tag, but it’s only 4ft and the conditions are still ordinary. Honestly, not worth the paddle.

The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window comes right at the end. Monday the 10th of August through to Wednesday the 12th of August sees a solid pulse of swell. On Monday morning, we’ve got 8ft of NNE swell with a period of 8 seconds and a decent amount of energy kicking around (962). The wind is offshore from the North, at 16 mph, giving us clean conditions. That’s the standout. The size is getting up there though – over 8ft – so this is one for the experienced crew only. The swell direction is NNE, but the optimum for this reef is from the North, so it’s a little off-angle. Still, it’s the best we’ll see. The following days hold similar size and clean conditions, but the energy dips a bit.

So, if you’re an advanced surfer and you can wait, the window from the 10th to the 12th of August is your best bet. For everyone else, this is a long, quiet stretch. The consistent onshore winds and short-period swell just aren’t giving us anything to get excited about. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but for now, it’s looking like a lot of waiting for one decent session.

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.
