The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what we’re looking at for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you... this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim for Arrieta. There’s no real standout, no day where you’d be stoked to paddle out. The swell is there, but the wind and conditions just aren’t playing ball. We’re looking at a solid 7 days from Wednesday the 22nd through to Tuesday the 28th where the surf is just... poor. After that, it stays marginal but not worth rushing for.

Let’s start with that first bit. Wednesday afternoon the 22nd, we’ve got a 6 ft swell from the north-northeast, but it’s a short period, only 7 seconds, and a 19 mph cross-shore wind is making it lumpy. The combined energy is weak (351). Water temp is 72°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. It’s a no-go.

Thursday the 23rd, Friday the 24th, and into the weekend, the swell actually builds. Saturday morning the 25th sees 8 ft from the NNE, but with a 25 mph cross-shore wind, it’s messy, and the energy is moderate (873). That’s too big for beginners and with that wind, it’s a battle. Sunday the 26th the swell hits 10 ft in the morning, with a strong breeze making it a mess. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, the conditions are foul. The combined energy jumps to 1129 (strong), but it’s not surfable. By Sunday afternoon, the wind goes cross-off, so it’s clean, but the swell is still 8 ft and the period is short. It’s better, but still not great.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th see the swell drop to 7 ft and then 5 ft, with clean cross-off winds. The wind is offshore, which is a big positive, but the swell is short period and the energy is moderate (622 and 307). It’s clean, but the waves are just not shaping up well. You could get a few, but it’s a far cry from good.

After that, from Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the first week of August, the swell fades. We’re looking at 4 ft to 1 ft, and mostly clean conditions. On Tuesday the 4th of August, the swell direction shifts to the west-northwest, which is closer to the optimum (N), but the swell is tiny, only 1 ft, and the energy is very weak (67). The period is 9 seconds, which is a bit longer, but there’s just no power.

So, what’s the best of a bad bunch? Honestly, if I had to pick, it would be Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th. The winds are cross-off (clean), the swell is 7 ft dropping to 5 ft, and the energy is moderate. It’s still short period, so you’re not getting barrels, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see. For a more experienced surfer, those mornings might offer a few fun ones. But for the average punter, there’s nothing here that’s worth the drive.

This is a classic case of a stretch where the forecast just doesn’t line up. It’s a quiet spell. Don’t expect much, and if you do go, go with low expectations.

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.
