A recording condition compensation method for preventing a degradation of recording quality and stably achieving excellent recording quality is provided for an information recording apparatus. This method includes the steps of detecting temperature information in the vicinity of a light source at a predetermined timing, acquiring wavelength information of an optical beam emitted from the light source based on the detected temperature information and pre-acquired wavelength temperature characteristic information of the optical beam emitted from the light source, acquiring wavelength dependency information of a recording condition for an information recording medium, and compensating the recording condition for recording information on the information recording medium based on the wavelength information and the wavelength dependency information of the recording condition. In this way, even when the light source temperature at a time of recording is different from the light source temperature at an earlier time in which the recording condition has been set, the recording condition can still be accurately compensated without expending a partition in the test-writing area.
