The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Arrieta. This stretch ain’t the kind that gets a bloke out of bed early. The whole 16-day window is a pretty grim run, with nearly every session marked as poor. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least that’s not gonna surprise you.

The first real chance to even think about a paddle doesn’t come until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then it’s only a marginal nod. That’s a long, dry gap of over a week from the start of the period. The only days that even get a sniff of a recommendation are the 11th and 12th of August.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Arrieta (reef). On Tuesday the 11th of August, both morning and afternoon, you’ve got a 8ft swell from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, but the energy is solid, with a combined energy of 989 (moderate) in the morning and 865 in the arvo. The wind is cross-offshore from the N at 12–16 mph, which will keep it reasonably clean. It’s a reef break, so that short-period swell might not be a total write-off, but it’s not groundswell, so don’t expect long, peeling lines. This is an advanced spot, and at 8ft, it’s too big for beginners. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out there, but nothing too hectic.

The morning of Wednesday the 12th of August is much the same story: 8ft from the NNE, 8-second period, cross-off wind from the N at 12 mph, and a combined energy of 867 (moderate). The afternoon drops to 8ft. It’s still marginal, but it’s the best you’ll get.

Honestly, this is a pretty blank run for the area. The conditions are persistently messy with cross-shore winds and lumpy chop, and the swell is mostly short-period and wind-affected. It’s a tough outlook. The forecasts can change, but for now, I’d keep the board in the bag and wait for better news.

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.
