The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with the imperial version.

Let’s be straight up – this is a rough outlook. The forecast starts with nothing but poor surf conditions, and the first real sniff of a wave doesn’t come until the end of the run. We’re looking at a dry spell from Wednesday, 29 July, all the way through to the middle of August. The only spot in the game is Izquierda, a consistent reef break that’s open to the north-west, but the wind is just killing it.

The 16-day window kicks off with a NNE wind screaming at 19 mph, straight onshore or cross-on, making a mess of the 3 ft to 4 ft swell. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, sitting between 86 and 191. It’s lumpy, choppy, and ugly. That pattern sticks for days – same wind direction, same story. The water temp is 73°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t feel it when you’re getting blown off your board.

There’s a minor shift around Saturday, 1 August, when the wind backs off to a gentle 9 mph from the NNW, but it’s still cross-on and the swell is tiny at 3 ft with a period of 7 seconds. The energy climbs to 210, but it’s still poor. By Saturday afternoon, the swell drops to 2 ft, and the period stretches to 10 seconds, which would normally be interesting, but the wind is back onshore. Not worth the effort.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is a repeat: 3 ft to 5 ft swells, all from the north, with periods of 6 to 7 seconds, and wind that’s either onshore or cross-on from the NNE or N, blowing 12 to 19 mph. The combined energy ranges from 140 to 263 – still moderate. Beginners might be okay with the size staying under 5 ft, but the poor quality means no one is scoring.

The only slight hope is on the morning of Friday, 7 August. The swell bumps up to 5 ft – the biggest in the whole run – and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph from the NNE. But it’s still onshore, the period is short at 6 seconds, and the wave energy is 263. That’s the best of a bad batch. It’s not good, but it’s the least bad. After that, the swell slides back to 5 ft and 4 ft, and the wind picks up again. The rest of the second week is more of the same: 3 ft to 4 ft, short periods, and fresh onshore winds.

For the whole 16 days, I can’t find a true standout. If you’re desperate, the morning of Friday, 7 August, is the one to roll the dice on, but keep your hopes low. The wind is never offshore, and the swell never lines up. For a consistent reef like Izquierda, this is an unusual run of bad luck. Might be time to fix the dings.

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.
