The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Arrieta for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a rough start. From the 22nd of July right through to the morning of the 1st of August, we're looking at a long stretch of poor surf. The wind is howling out of the NNE, a fresh to strong breeze, and it's just making a mess of the surface. There's swell, from 6ft to over 10ft at times, but with that wind, it's all lumpy cross-chop. Not worth getting wet.
The first real chance of something good comes on the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August. That's more than a week away, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's a standout. The wind is forecast to shift to a light NNW breeze, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. The swell is a solid 12ft from the NNE, with a combined energy reading of 1813 (strong wave energy). That's a lot of juice. But with that size, this is for experts only. It's a powerful wave at Arrieta, and since it's an inconsistent reef break, you'll be waiting for the big sets. The period is 9 seconds, so it's a shorter-period swell, which means it'll be a bit less organized than a deep ocean groundswell, but the clean wind will make it work.
After that, the swell drops off fast. Monday is smaller, around 8ft, and still clean. By the 4th and 5th of August, we're back to tiny waves, under 3ft, with a long period (11-12 seconds). That long period will give you some nice lines on the reef, but the size is just too small to get excited about.
So, your best bet is the morning of the 2nd of August. It's a big, powerful session for the experienced surfer only. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
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.
