Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arrieta over the next 16 days.


Right then, let's have a look at what Arrieta's got for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a rough patch, if I'm bein' honest. The water temp's sittin' around 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

We're gonna start with a real quiet spell. From Friday the 10th through to Wednesday the 15th, it's gonna be lean. We're talkin' tiny swell, mostly in the 0.7 ft to 4 ft range, with the combined energy barely tickling the 302 mark at its best and mostly stuck in the double digits. The wind's blowin' mostly cross or cross-off from the N or NNE, but there's just no power in the water. For a spot that's already inconsistent, these are poor surf days, mate. Don't bother paddling out.

Then, come Thursday the 16th, things start to change. We see the swell jump up to 7 ft from the NNE, with the period a short 7 seconds and the combined energy shooting up to 440. Problem is, the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 22 mph, making it lumpy. As we move into Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th, the swell builds further, hitting 8 ft on Saturday morning from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy gets strong, hitting 940. The wind tries to clean up as a cross-off, but this is serious size. Over 8 ft, this is expert territory only, especially with that short period making it dumpy and hard to handle. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most folks.

The best of the lot, if you're an expert with nerves of steel, looks to be Sunday the 19th. The swell maxes out at 10 ft from the NNE with a 9-second period, a powerful, groundswell-driven pulse of energy hitting 1266 in combined energy. The morning will be a messy cross-chop with 25 mph winds, but the afternoon cleans up as the wind backs off to a cross-off 22 mph from the N. That's a big, powerful wave that will be breaking hard and fast. It's gonna be too much for anyone but the most experienced. Expect crowds, as this spot can get busy when there's something to ride.

The swell hangs around into the next week, still big. Monday the 20th sees 8 ft from the NNE, but lumpy cross-shore winds. By Tuesday the 21st, we get an energy reading of 1211 on a 7 ft swell, but the conditions are marginal with a cross-chop. The end of the period from Wednesday the 22nd to Saturday the 25th stays solid, with swell sizes between 5 ft and 8 ft, but the NNE wind keeps it from ever being what I'd call 'clean' and fun. The wind and swell direction just aren't matching up for the optimum N direction this reef likes. It’s all a bit of a wrestle.

So, to cut the story short: the first week is a total write-off for surf. The second week has one standout for experts only on Sunday the 19th, but the rest is big, windy, and not the best quality.

Stay safe 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.
