The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Arrieta. Over the next two weeks, we’re in for a bit of a waiting game. The swell shows up, but the conditions are mostly going to keep things average. You’re going to want to pick your moments, and there’s really only one session that stands out as worth the drive.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 13th has some push – 1.4m from the north – but it’s got a short period and the energy is just moderate (372). The water’s about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 24°. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Monday the 14th is smaller, and the afternoon turns a bit bumpy.
The middle of the week is pretty ordinary. From Tuesday the 15th through to the 24th, there’s a lot of north wind, cross-onshore or just plain messy. There are some bumps in size, like around the 17th and 18th when it pushes to 2m, but the period is short and the wind is fresh, so it’s going to be a lumpy, cross-chop mess. Not worth getting excited about.
There are a few days with clean, glassy conditions – like the 20th and 21st – but the swell is tiny, only 0.7m. That’s a real grovel on a reef. The 22nd has a bit more size with a long 14-second period, but the wind is on it more, so it’s not going to be the clean one.
Now, for the highlight. Saturday the 26th is the one. The swell comes up to 1.8m from the NNE, and for the afternoon, we’ve got a light offshore wind from the north and a clean surface. The period is still a short 7 seconds, which means it’s going to be a bit crumbly, but the energy is moderate (502). For a reef that doesn’t break often, this is your window. It’s not going to be perfect, but it’s by far the best looking surf of the entire period.
So, if you’ve got patience, hold out for that Saturday. The rest is mostly average to poor. You’ll get a few waves, but you’ll be working for them. Keep the board waxed, and be ready to move when that 26th rolls around.
Rusty out.

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.
