The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Arrieta over the next couple of weeks.

Well, I’ll be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is a long, hard slog of poor conditions, and there’s barely a window where it all comes together. The water temp is sitting at 75°F which is a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your toes off while you’re scratching your head wondering where the surf is.

The first real chance we get is on Thursday the 3rd, in the morning. We’ve got a small 4ft swell coming from the NNE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which cleans things up a bit, and the combined energy is weak (235). It’s surfable, but just barely. It’s the best we’ve seen, but it’s not saying much. After that, it’s back to bleak, messy conditions with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy chop through the following week.

The next flicker of hope comes on Sunday the 13th, over a week away. The morning and afternoon both show a 4ft NNE swell, still short period at 7 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (278), and the waves are described as "surfable but very ordinary." Glassy conditions are a major positive here, so if you’re desperate, that’s your window. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the cleanest the place will get in this entire 16-day run.

After that, the forecast drops off again with cross-onshore winds and tiny swell. The only other thing of note is on the final day, Wednesday the 16th, where we see a 3ft swell from the NNW with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and the combined energy jumps to 533 (strong). But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s likely going to be choppy and messy. A long-period swell like that at a sheltered reef break like Arrieta can be tricky – it might wrap in nicely, or it might just throw up a lot of close-outs with the wrong wind. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

Overall, this is a lean period. If you’re a kiter, the strong cross-shore winds and lumpy seas on the 1st and 2nd of September might look more interesting than a paddle session. For the rest of us, the best advice is to wait for the glassy morning on the 13th, or just wait for the next forecast.

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.
