The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for this region. We've got a bit of a bleak outlook ahead, to be honest. The whole 16-day window is a massive struggle, with a very long stretch of onshore winds and messy surf. There's no standout, high-quality swell to get excited about, and the winds are relentless. It's a tough run for the paddle crew.

The session starts with a bit of size on Tuesday, July 21st, but that's where the good news ends. Izquierda is a consistent reef break, and it's exposed to the swell, but the wind is blowing straight onshore from the North-Northeast at 22 mph. That's a fresh breeze just tearing the place up. The swell is coming from the North at 5 ft, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, it's weak, choppy, and lumpy. The combined energy is only 247, which is weak. The water is sitting at 72°, roughly average for the time of year, but who cares when the surf is this poor? It's a complete write-off for paddle surfing. This setup looks way more interesting for a kite session than a surfboard.

This pattern just doesn't let up. Wednesday, July 22nd, through to Monday, July 27th, we see the same story: relentless onshore winds from the North-Northeast, ranging from 16 to 25 mph. Swell holds between 5 ft and 7 ft, but the period is stuck between 7 and 8 seconds, creating weak, short-period windswell. The energy builds into the moderate range, hitting 577 on Sunday, July 26th, but it's still just messy, onshore, poor surf. The wind is just too strong and too wrong to even consider a paddle.

From Tuesday, July 28th, things start to drop off. The swell drops to 4 ft to 5 ft, and the energy fades back into the low 100s. The wind remains onshore, with a few days mixing in a cross-on direction. We get a bit of a break from the strongest wind on the 31st of July and 1st of August, with moderate breezes, but it's still cross-onshore and choppy. The surf is poor, small, and blown out.

The final few days into early August show a slight drop in size, with winds still onshore. By Monday, August 3rd, the swell drops to a tiny 3 ft, and the combined energy is a weak 99. There is absolutely nothing to recommend here. It's a blank run of 16 days with no surf worth chasing. The conditions are consistently poor, and the forecasts will need to change dramatically to offer any hope. Keep the board in the car for a different spot, or take up another hobby for a while.

Rusty.

Information about the Izquierda Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Izquierda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Izquierda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Izquierda 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 (Izquierda) 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 Izquierda 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.
