The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Arrieta over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a rough start. We’ve got a solid stretch of days where the wind is just too strong and the conditions are all over the place. The wind is hammering from the N and NNE, hitting 19 to 25 mph, which is turning the ocean into a choppy mess. For the first ten days, from Thursday, the 23rd of July, right through to the end of the month, the score is a flat zero. There's some decent swell size in there – even hitting 10 ft on the Sunday morning, the 26th – but with that strong breeze and cross-shore wind, it's just not worth paddling out. The combined energy is moderate to strong (383 to 1145), but it's all wasted on poor conditions.
The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing wild.
You'll have to be patient. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 2nd of August. It's a full week and a half away, but that's where the forecast starts to change. The wind drops right out, going glassy in the morning with just a slight air from the NE at 3 mph. The swell is a small 3 ft from the N with a short period of 6 seconds, so it's not going to be a world-beater, but it'll be clean. The combined energy is weak (112), but for a paddle on a small board, it'll be a nice change.
Then Monday, the 3rd of August, keeps that trend going. The swell drops further to 3 ft, but the wind stays light and cross-off from the NNW, so the surface will be clean. The energy is still weak (114), but it's surfable.
The best of the poor bunch looks like it might be Tuesday, the 4th of August. We get a 2 ft swell from the WNW with a period stretching to 10 seconds. That's a bit more of a groundswell feel, and with gentle cross-off winds in the morning, the waves could have a bit more shape to them. The energy is still weak (135), but for a small clean wave, you could do worse. Just keep in mind the period is getting into that longer range, so at a sheltered reef like Arrieta, it might actually line up nicely.
After that, the swell fades out again into tiny, weak surf with moderate winds. All in all, wait for that Sunday and Monday after the first week. It's the only window where the ocean looks like it's worth a look.

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.
