Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up. We’re going to focus on a single spot: Izquierda, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north-west. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Alright, the outlook is a bit of a bummer to be honest. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 4th kicks off with a weak 4ft north swell, but it’s coming in with a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is only 266 (moderate), but the wind state ruins it. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. From Sunday the 5th right through to the 18th of July, every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions." The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the north-northwest or north-northeast, and it’s blowing strong—often 19 mph or more. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, with short periods of 4 to 9 seconds, meaning weak, wind-affected waves. The combined energy drops to weak levels (16) on the 8th and barely climbs above 200 on the 14th, but the wind is relentless.
There’s a glimmer on the 14th of July, Tuesday morning, when the swell picks up to 4ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 313 (moderate). But again, 19 mph onshore winds from the north-northeast will have it blown out. This pattern of small, windy swell continues until the 19th of July, Sunday morning, when we finally see a cross-onshore wind, but the swell is dropping back to 4ft and the period is short at 7 seconds.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch might be Saturday morning, the 4th, if you’re desperate for a paddle, but the cross-onshore wind will make it bumpy. For the rest of the 16-day window, it’s mostly a case of waiting for a change in the weather. The swell direction is generally north to north-northwest, which is off the optimum, and the wind never truly cooperates. For a protected reef like Izquierda, you need that offshore south wind, but it’s just not showing up.
So, no true standouts. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath. This is a classic case of a long, flat, windy run. It won’t last forever, but for now, it’s a tough call.
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.
