The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty again. Gonna give it to you straight – Arrieta is a no-go for the next couple weeks. This reef needs a clean north swell with offshore wind, but we’re stuck with north-northeast pulses and a constant cross breeze. Water temp is nothing unusual, no anomalies.
From Tuesday 14th through Wednesday 29th, every single session is labeled poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly a fresh breeze (25–35 km/h) cross-shore, creating chop. The swell does build – by the 17th we’ve got 6ft faces but a short 7-second period, messy. The energy ramps from a weak 93 up to over 1200 by the 28th, but that’s all raw power with no shape. Scores are zeros across the board except a couple mornings.
Saturday 24th morning: 5ft from north, 8-second period, clean with a light offshore breeze (NNW 9 mph). And Sunday 26th morning: 8ft from north-northeast, 9-second period, also clean. But both are only rated marginal – just a 1/10. For an advanced, inconsistent reef break that can get crowded, those are not worth the trip. The 26th swell is over 8ft – experts only, still poor quality.
So there’s nothing good in that 16-day window. This is normal for Arrieta when the trade winds are up – the stars just aren’t aligning. Forecasts can change, but right now I’d say sit this one out.
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.
