The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Lanzarote’s giving us for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow start, so don’t rush to wax up.
Right now, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. The first time you’ll want to even think about getting wet is Sunday the 13th. Before that, from Friday the 11th through Saturday the 12th, a fresh north wind is blowing cross-shore, tearing up a 7ft swell into lumpy, ugly lines. Forget it.
Sunday the 13th morning is still messy with a moderate cross-shore and a 5ft NNE swell. But by the afternoon, the wind goes light to a SSW cross-offshore, cleaning up that 4ft NNE swell (8-second period). The water is 75°, which is pretty standard for this time of year. This is your only real shot at a wave in the first week, but it’s a small window and the swell energy is moderate (337). Don’t expect a classic.
Then we hit another dry spell. Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th, the swell drops way down and the winds stay cross or onshore. Tiny waves and poor conditions. The combined energy sinks into the weak range (as low as 90) on Wednesday morning.
There are a couple of more interesting days further out, though. Friday the 18th has a moderate NW cross-offshore breeze and a 5ft N swell. The wave energy jumps to a strong 600, which gets your attention. But the real standout is Saturday the 19th morning: a light W offshore wind cleaning up a 4ft N swell (9-second period) at Jameos del Agua (a reef spot). That’s your best bet. The energy is moderate at 298, and that offshore wind will make for clean, user-friendly waves for an intermediate surfer who knows the place. Just be ready for a crowd, because it’s a popular spot.
After that, it’s mostly small and ordinary for the rest of the run. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon has a longer-period NNW groundswell (14 seconds, 3ft) but the wind is cross-shore and the energy is moderate (417). Might be a sneaky longboard session, but it’s not a standout.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a bust until Sunday afternoon. The one to circle on the calendar is Saturday morning, September 19th. That’s your best chance for clean, fun waves. The rest is inconsistent and small.
