The Lowdown

Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got coming up. Honestly, for the next week or so it’s gonna be a tough watch if you’re looking for something clean. The winds are mostly cross or cross-off from the NNE, right out of the gate Friday 28 August, and those swells – although they’ve got some size with a moderate energy punch (384 to 863) – are blowing out pretty messy. Not one to get excited about.

We don’t see anything rideable until Friday 4 September, and even then it’s a slow start. That morning brings a small 4ft swell from the north, period only 8 seconds, but at least the wind drops right back to a light breeze, so conditions are actually clean. The energy’s not high (191), but it’s surfable without being a chore. That afternoon stays similar, with clean 4ft waves from the north.

Saturday 5 September is where we start to see a little hope. Morning has a light offshore from the NW, and the swell drops to 3ft from the NNW, still clean, with moderate wave energy (257). It’s not gonna blow you away, but it’s a solid small-wave session for anyone on a log or a funboard. That afternoon is similar, still clean.

Now, here’s the standout in the whole outlook – Saturday morning 5 September. You’ve got light offshore wind, clean conditions, and the break is Arrieta, a reef setup that’s best on a northerly swell. The water temp is roughly average for this time of year, nothing weird. Keep in mind this spot is inconsistent and only breaks sometimes, so if it lines up like this, you’re in for a treat – but don’t expect a circus. Crowds are possible here.

After that, Sunday 6 September has a tiny 1ft swell with a very long 15-second period, but the wave energy is low (184) – that’s more of a flat spell, period between sets will be long. Not worth paddling for.

Monday 7 September picks back up slightly – 3ft from the NNW, period 12 seconds, and the wind stays light to moderate and clean. Tuesday 8 September is similar, around 3ft. It’s not firing, but conditions are clean enough for a solo session if you’re keen.

Beyond that, from Wednesday 9 September onward, the swell drops down to under 3ft and the wave energy fades into the weak range (119 down to 78). Thursday 10 September has a tiny 2ft swell with clean conditions, then Friday and Saturday 11-12 September see a slight bump from the WNW but periods get long again and the wind picks up cross-shore. It’s not worth getting hyped about.

Honestly, if you have to pick a time to surf, aim for the morning of Saturday 5 September. It’s the only time where the wind, swell size and direction, and break quality come together for a clean little session. Everything else in this 16-day window is either blown out or too weak.

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.
