The Lowdown

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

Honestly, straight up – we’ve got a blank run ahead. The whole 16-day window from now through to mid-August is a write-off for decent surf. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up. There’s a run of about 16 days with no worthwhile waves to speak of at Arrieta.

Arrieta is a sheltered reef setup, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, which is part of the problem. The swell direction is pretty much stuck from the NNE to NE, but the optimum swell direction for this spot is from the north, so it’s never really lining up properly. The swell energy climbs into the moderate range as we go (like 676 on the 6th of August), but it’s all short-period slop around 6 to 8 seconds – no real push or power behind it. The wind is cross or cross-off from the north, whipping through at 15 to 25 mph, which leaves the surface clean at times but the waves themselves are just poor. Water temperature sits at 73°F, about normal for the time of year, so at least the water’s nice if you fancy a swim.

Bottom line: no standout days, no decent surf. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the wind and the lumpy conditions. It’s a tough run, but this area can be like that – forecasts change, so keep an eye out.

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.
