The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and Fahrenheit for you.
It’s a rough start at Arrieta. There’s a long stretch of nothing good coming our way until late September. The wind is mostly blowing hard from the north, and even when there’s swell, the conditions are junk. For over a week, there’s nothing worth talking about.
The first hint of a surfable wave comes on Saturday, September 19th and Sunday the 20th. Swell drops to about 3ft from the NNW, with light winds – cross-off or just a light cross-shore. It’s clean, but only ordinary. The energy is moderate, around 497. The period is long, over 13 seconds, which gives it some punch, but at a sheltered reef like Arrieta, those long-period NNW swells can be a bit too straight for perfect shape. Still, it’s something to wet a line.
The big one, the one you need to mark, is Monday, September 28th. That morning we’re looking at 10ft of swell from the NNW with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a massive 3296 – that’s serious power. Wind is cross-off from the north at 25 km/h (15 mph), so it’ll be clean. But at over 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. It’s a powerful, long-period groundswell that will unload on the reef. The afternoon drops to about 8ft, still solid and clean. That Monday is the day if you’ve got the skills.
The day before, Sunday the 27th, it starts building. The afternoon sees 7ft from the NNW with energy over 1000, and it’s clean. The morning is smaller at around 5ft. Both are a bit marginal, but you can feel the pulse coming.
Water temp is about 74°F, which is normal for the season.
So, bottom line: a long dry spell, a small clean window around the 20th, but the real standout is that last Monday of September. It’s a long way out, so don’t book your flights yet, but the potential is there for a cracker.
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.
