Alright, this is gonna be a tough one for us here at Arrieta. I've been staring at the charts and honestly, for the next week and a half, things are looking flat and frustrated. This is a sheltered reef setup, and right now, there just isn't any decent swell lining up with the winds to make it worthwhile.
Looking ahead, the opening days are a write-off. Monday the 6th through to early the following week, we're looking at tiny, weak, onshore-affected slop. The swell is barely registering, with combined wave energy stuck in the low double digits. It's just not going to hold up. We're looking at a solid 10-day drought of proper surf here.
The only real glimmer on the horizon, and it's a long way off, lands on the 20th of July. The Monday morning session shows a building swell from the NE at 8ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is looking cleaner, coming from the north as a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy climbs all the way up, which suggests there’s finally some real power in the water. For a spot that’s often inconsistent and works best with a clean, groomed line, that NE swell direction nudges towards its optimum, and those cross-off winds would make for some proper, lined-up reef waves.
But at 8ft, this one is for the advanced crew only. It'll be powerful and probably a handful for anyone not used to a reef break with some push. Also, keep in mind that crowds are possible here, so if this forecast holds, expect some company for those select few sessions. It’s a promise from a week and a half out, so stay tuned, but for now, that Monday the 20th morning is your one real standout.
Hang in there.

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.
