Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Arrieta has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for until well into the second week. The first recommendation doesn't come around until Wednesday, July 24th, so that's a solid two-week gap of pretty much nothing. For a spot like this, that kind of blank run is, well, it happens.
The water's sitting at a warm 72°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're waiting.
Now, for the first real standout, mark your calendar for Friday morning, July 24th at Arrieta (reef). The wind is set to be a gentle breeze from the NNW, which is a clean cross-offshore breeze. That's a major positive. We're looking at a solid 8ft swell coming from the NNE, with a combined energy of (639) – that's a healthy, strong push of water. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's a windswell, not a groundswell. This swell is big enough that it's really only for the experienced crew; 8ft is expert territory, especially at a reef. The afternoon holds a similar 8ft from the same direction, but the wind picks up a bit, still clean though. Just keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and when it's on, it can get crowded sometimes.
So, the long and short of it: wait it out. There's a promising pulse of solid, clean swell right at the end of the forecast window, but it's a long way off. Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
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.
