The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest with you, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The forecast is showing a whole heap of northerly wind, and that’s just not what we want for Izquierda. There are no standout sessions on the horizon here, and the entire 16-day window is pretty much a write-off.
The first possible recommendation isn’t until Sunday the 26th of July, and straight away we’ve got a problem. We’re looking at a 6ft swell from the north, but it’s short-period stuff at 8 seconds, and on top of that we’ve got a fresh breeze blowing onshore at 22 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate at 401, but the conditions are poor. This same story just keeps repeating itself day after day.
The water temperature is running about average for the time of year, which is fine, but you won’t be feeling it much if you’re just getting blown off your board.
The wind hardly lets up. Through that first week, we’ve got moderate to fresh breezes onshore every session – morning and afternoon – and a lot of it is from the north. Even when the wind eases a touch, like on Saturday the 1st of August, it’s still onshore. There’s a tiny shift on the 2nd of August with a light cross-onshore, but the surf is still just a messy 4ft.
Into the second week, the swell tries to bump up a bit. On the 3rd of August, we see 5ft swell from the north-northeast, and the energy jumps to 376. But again, it’s onshore or cross-onshore wind, and the ride quality is poor. For the 4th of August, late in the afternoon we get a little 2ft swell out of the northwest with a longer period of 11 seconds (234 energy), but that’s immediately ruined by a fresh breeze onshore.
By the 5th of August, the swell height pushes to 6ft with moderate wave energy at 489, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and horrible. That pattern – a bit more size but terrible wind – carries through to the end of the forecast. On the 6th and 7th of August, you’ve got 6ft to 6ft swells with moderate to strong energy (595 to 532), but again, it’s all blown out.
Look, I hate to say it, but there is nothing here to get excited about. Izquierda, being a reef setup, loves a decent groundswell and offshore wind. Instead, we’ve got a constant northerly wind onshore or cross-onshore. Because the swell is mostly short-period and the wind is trashing it, the surf is consistently labelled ‘poor’. For the whole 16 days, every single session has a score of zero out of ten. That's a blank run.
Honestly, with this amount of onshore wind and messy, short-period swell, this set-up looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. The conditions are just not there for us.
Keep hope though – it tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can always change. But for now, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
