Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Arrieta has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands. The first real recommendation doesn’t show up until Sunday the 5th of July, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. From there, we slide into a frustrating gap where the conditions just don’t line up for a decent paddle until much later in the window.

That first glimpse of surf on Sunday morning the 5th at Arrieta is a real teaser. We’re looking at a small 3ft N swell, with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at best (192). The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is pretty average for this time of year. Wind is from the NNW at 9 mph, a cross-offshore flow that keeps the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary – nothing special. The crowds will be around sometimes, so you might have company for those weak little lines.

After that Sunday morning, the surf quality just tanks. We go days with tiny, messy swell and nasty cross-shore winds. Honestly, from Monday the 6th right through to Saturday the 11th, it’s not worth paddling out. The swell heights are tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is all over the place – mostly cross or cross-off with moderate to fresh breezes. The combined energy stays low, barely cracking triple digits most of the time, and the scores are all zeros. It’s a proper write-off.

Now, things start to get a bit more interesting in the second week. We begin to see some pulse in the water, but the wind remains a persistent issue. On Sunday the 12th, there’s a 3ft NNW swell with a moderate energy reading (160), but the cross-shore wind is still messing it up. The same story plays through Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, where the energy finally pushes into the 200s, but the conditions are still far from clean.

The real potential, though, shows up at the very tail end of the forecast. Keep your eye on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of July. We’ve got a solid push of NNE swell building. On Saturday, we’re talking 6ft at 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to strong levels (361). That’s a lot of water moving, but with that short period, it’s going to be a bit closed out and messy – better for the experts. The wind is cross-shore, which adds a chop to it.

But look at Sunday the 19th of July. That’s the standout. Arrieta should see a clean 7ft NNE swell, still at an 8-second period, but the energy is very strong (679). And the wind? It’s a cross-offshore breeze from the N at 19 mph, cleaning the faces up nicely. That’s your best bet in the whole 16 days. It’s going to be a beast, though – well overhead, powerful, and certainly too big for beginners. If you’re an advanced surfer looking for some punch, that Sunday is the session to pencil in. Just be aware that the 7ft range is strictly for the experienced crew.

Monday the 20th keeps that 7ft NNE swell going, but the wind swings back to a cross-shore, so it’ll be lumpier.

So, the bottom line: you’ve got a long, disappointing wait. The first week is a total loss. The only real beacon of hope is that last weekend, especially Sunday the 19th of July, for some solid, clean, powerful waves for the brave.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and I’ll catch you out there.

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.
