Surfing in Arrieta

Arrieta is on the north east side of the island. This area of the island gets really good waves with big swells from the North. There is a sand bottom wave in Arrieta and everything north of that is reef breaks. The prevailing north winds are off shore and side-off shore.

When the east side is going off from big swells from the north it gets like Indonesia. The reef breaks in this area also get crowded with localism but sometimes you can get lucky with only a few people out.

Arrieta has a sand beach good for all levels of surfing and is protected from the north wind.

You can also do skimboard here, like in Famara.

Stretching is always good before and after surfing.

Everything north of Arrieta is sharp lava reef brakes.

Localism is fierce and can be problematic on crowded spots.
