Table - best surf conditions forecast for Izquierda over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, your local surf report. Let's get into it.
Right then, the outlook for Izquierda over the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off. We're staring down the barrel of a long stretch with no worthwhile surf. From the 12th of July right through almost to the very end, it's all just rubbish. The wind is a nightmare, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and it never really lets up. There are no standouts here, just a whole lot of flat, choppy, blown-out mess. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 73°F for the 12th, but that's about the only positive.
The first few days are a complete loss. The 12th has some swell, sure, at 4 ft from the NW, but with a stiff 16 mph north onshore wind, the surface is going to be a washing machine. Combined energy is moderate at best (182), but it's all for nothing. The wind from the north and NNE just keeps hammering us. It’s onshore almost constantly, with speeds ramping up from 16 mph to 19 mph through the middle of the month. The swell does build a bit, hitting 5 ft by the 17th and peaking around 6 ft to 6 ft on the 20th, with the combined energy climbing into the strong range (over 500). But don't get any ideas. All that energy is accompanied by those relentless onshore winds, making it just a big, messy, powerful closeout.
Even by the 22nd of July, when the swell period stretches out to a decent 10 seconds, the 19 mph north wind is still on it. The last half of the month sees the swell drop back, and the wind, while maybe a touch lighter at times on the 27th, is still cross-onshore on the morning of the 27th and onshore in the afternoon. That morning of the 27th is about the only time it even gets a "marginal" tag, with a light cross-onshore breeze, but the 5 ft swell from the north is short period and low quality. There is no moment in this forecast that is worth paddling out. This is one of those blank runs that happens here, and the best thing to do is wax your board for another day.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
