The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Arrieta. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. The forecast is basically a long, blank run with no real surfable windows. The wind is a constant problem, and the swell just isn't lining up right for this spot.

We’re starting now, and from the first recommendation on Tuesday the 21st of July, all the way through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 5th of August, the outlook is the same: poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly a stiff cross or cross-off breeze from the N or NNE, blowing at 18 to 28 mph, which is just too much for clean waves here. The swell is coming from the NNE, which isn't the optimum direction for this break, and the period is short, between 7 to 8 seconds. That’s just windswell, lacking any real punch or shape.

Even when the swell height pushes up – like on Saturday the 25th of July, with a 10ft swell from the NNE and a combined energy of 1111 (strong wave energy) – the wind is a strong cross-breeze at 25 mph, making it a messy, cross-chop nightmare. That’s not for paddling; that’s kite-surfing territory if you’re game. The water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s a touch warmer than average, but nothing crazy.

The sea feels heavy and lumpy, but the quality just isn’t there. Arrieta is an advanced reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so this kind of blank run, while frustrating, isn’t totally abnormal for the area. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board in the car and come back another day.

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.
