Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for this spot.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you: this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with hardly a moment that’s worth paddling out for. The first day we’ve got data for is Saturday the 11th of July, and it’s a tiny, weak 1ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined wave energy is just 30, which is barely a ripple, and with a light onshore breeze in the morning that turns into a choppy cross-offshore later, it’s a hard pass.
That sets the tone for the whole run. The swell does build as we go into the following week, but the wind is the killer. From Sunday the 12th through to Thursday the 16th, we see the swell climb from 4ft to 5ft, mostly from the N and NNW, but the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore. Monday the 13th has a 3ft swell with a 9-second period, but the wind is messy. The energy starts to creep up into the moderate range on the 12th and 13th (160 to 177), but those poor surf condition tags ruin any hope.
We hit a bigger build around Thursday the 17th of July through the weekend of the 18th and 19th, with swell heights going from 5ft to 6ft from the N, and periods bumping up to 9 seconds. The combined energy gets strong here, hitting 437 on Saturday the 18th morning and 504 that afternoon. That’s proper power in the water, and at Izquierda’s 6ft size, it’s getting into expert territory. But here’s the heartbreaker: the wind is howling onshore at 19-22 mph the whole time. That’s fresh breeze straight on, meaning blown-out, choppy lines. It looks more like a kite session than a clean reef wave.
The run continues with onshore wind right through to the 26th of July. Even when the swell drops back to 3ft to 4ft mid-week (21st-23rd July), the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave state is consistently listed as poor or choppy. The combined energy remains moderate to strong, but without clean wind, it’s all just noise. The last few days of the forecast, the 24th through the 26th, still show onshore wind with swell around 4ft to 4ft.
So, honestly? There isn’t a standout session in this whole run. The water temperature anomaly isn’t given for the first day, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or colder than usual. But the main story is the wind: relentless onshore flow ruining what could be decent-sized swell. If you’re desperate, maybe a dawn patrol on the 21st of July when the wind drops to a gentle breeze from the NNE (9 mph), but even then it’s onshore with a 4ft N swell and a short 8-second period. It’s a gamble.
Hang in there. It’s a rough run, but these things don’t last forever.
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.
