Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Arrieta.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. We're looking at a solid two weeks of mostly poor surf conditions. The first real sniff of anything rideable doesn't show up until the second week, and even then, it's not exactly setting the world on fire.
For the vast majority of this outlook, from Sunday the 5th right through to Saturday the 19th of July, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The wave energy is almost non-existent for days on end, with readings barely scraping into double digits (like 17 to 34) – that's whisper-quiet energy. When the swell does try to push through, the period is often short, around 5 to 6 seconds, or it's coming from the wrong direction for this spot.
You'll see a slight bump on Thursday the 9th of July, with some 4ft swell from the NNE, but the guidance tells me Arrieta is a sheltered reef that really needs north-west swell to work. That NNE wind is just going to be messy. The combined energy is moderate (112-118), but it's not for us. Then on Saturday the 12th, there's another jump with energy over 100, but it's short-period (8 secs) and cross-shore wind is going to chop it up.
The only real glimmer of hope comes late on Sunday the 19th and into Monday the 20th. We start seeing a bit of size, with swell heights hitting 5ft from the NNE. The energy jumps up to 196 on Sunday afternoon and 214 on Monday morning – that's moderate wave energy. Now, the offshore direction is N to NNW, which is cross-offshore for this spot, so it should clean up. But the period is only 6 seconds, which is short for that size, meaning it'll be crumbly and a bit sectiony. It's advanced-only territory at that height, and with the inconsistency this place has, you'll be sitting out there waiting for the one wave that's any good for a long time.
So, I hate to say it, but if you're itching for a paddle, your best bet is the Sunday afternoon, July 19th, and Monday morning, July 20th. That's when the energy is highest and the wind is favourable. Just don't expect perfection. This spot is a rare breaker that rarely offers a good session, and this run looks to be keeping that trend alive. The water temperature should be average for this time of year, nothing wild going on there.
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.
