The Lowdown

Alright, let's be straight with you—the start of this run is pretty flat. A couple of small, weak waves early on, but nothing that'll get you out of bed. Light winds and clean conditions will make it look nice, but the ocean's just not got any push. You'd be sitting there bobbing around with your board under your arm.

Your first real shot is Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th. Swell builds to chest-high (2.1m range), with moderate energy (584 to 867 readings), but the wind is onshore and fresh, messing up the surface. It's solid, but it's a fight. Probably worth watching from the sand.

Then the weekend washes out. The 20th and 21st see the swell drop to knee-high, with a longer period NNW groundswell, but it's just too small. Arrieta's a spot that doesn't break often, so you need real push, and that ain't it.

A real dry spell hits from the 22nd through the 25th. We're talking ankle-biters, mostly "poor" and "marginal" calls. Light winds but no waves. It's a time to work on your tan, not your surfing.

Things start looking up around the 26th and 27th. A new NW swell shows with a long period (15-17 seconds), and the energy readings climb back up (520 to 754). But it's more of a crosswind, and that long period might make it break too straight on the reef. It's a tease.

The 28th and 29th keep that NW energy going at waist-to-chest high, but it's still crossshore. Then comes the one to watch: the 30th. That energy reading jumps to 1182 – the ocean's waking up. Swell hits 1.6m from the NNW with a 15-second period, and the morning has clean conditions with a cross-off breeze. That's the one. That's the standout. But it's far out, so don't book your flights yet. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty out.

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.
