Table - best surf conditions forecast for Izquierda over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight: the next 16 days for this stretch of coast are nothing to get excited about. The only break in the forecast – Izquierda – is a consistent reef set-up that usually handles a solid NW swell, but between now and the end of July the wind is just hammering it from the north and north‑northeast, day after day. That’s onshore, onshore, onshore. The swell never really gets its act together either. There might be a couple of pulses of energy (the combined energy hits 800 m on the 23rd, for instance), but with wind blowing straight into the face the waves will be chopped‑up, bumpy, and pretty much unsurfable. The period stays short most of the time – under 8 seconds – so you’re looking at weak, messy lumps, not proper groundswell.
From the 8th through to the 23rd there isn’t a single morning or afternoon where the conditions line up. The best you could hope for is maybe a tiny window of 1‑2 ft swell on the 12th with an 11‑second period (that’s a bit more energy at 92 m) but the wind is still onshore – that’s not going to give you clean waves. Even the bigger stuff on the 22nd‑23rd (6 ft to 8 ft) is ruined by 18 mph onshore winds. The water temperature? No data here, but I can tell you it’s gonna feel cold with that breeze.
Honestly, if you’re itching for a paddle, you’re better off waiting for a change in the pattern. The break itself is consistent, so it won’t stay this bad forever, but for the next two‑plus weeks you’re looking at a blank run. If the wind ever swings offshore, this place could fire – but it ain’t happening in this forecast.
Stay patient, check the updates, and maybe take the kite out instead.

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.
