The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, we’ve got a bit of a rough patch to get through. The forecast is showing swell building over the coming days, but the wind is just not playing ball at all. It’s a classic case of plenty of ocean energy, but the conditions are going to be a mess for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the early part is a write-off if you’re after a clean wave.

The first read on the swell is Thursday, July 16th, with a tiny 2 ft from the WNW, but it’s straight into a 18 mph onshore wind. That’s the story for the next week and a half. The wind is relentless from the North and NNE, hammering the coast. The swell builds, sure. By July 20th, we’re seeing 5 ft, and then it keeps climbing, hitting 6 ft and even 6 ft by the end of July. The energy ramps up from moderate (104) to strong (772), but it’s all blown out. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, which is just windslop anyway. For a reef break, you need clean conditions, and we’re not getting any.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Izquierda. It’s a consistent reef break, exposed to the swell, and it’s always going to catch that energy. Optimum swell is from the NW, and we’re mostly getting N and NNE, so it’s not even hitting the right angle. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s unusual.

The best on offer is a case of pure potential. The window from July 26th onwards sees the swell staying solid, around 6 ft to 6 ft, with the period finally stretching to 9 seconds. The energy is really strong, hitting some three-digit values. But that wind! It’s still onshore, 15-18 mph out of the N. If we get a break in that wind, expect a shift. Until then, this is a waiting game. For the absolute standout, if you’re willing to gamble on a last-minute change, keep an eye on July 29th. The morning is cloudy with 6 ft from the N, 9-second period, and a moderate breeze. The combined energy is 579 (strong). That’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the window, but the wind is still onshore. It’s a promising setup, but the forecast is less certain that far out. If the wind gods smile on us, that Wednesday morning could be worth a look.

Right now, for the first 10 days, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing. The consistent onshore wind and building swell will be a dream for them, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go. The conditions are "poor" across the board. Don’t get your hopes up for the first week. The second week shows a slight improvement in period, but the wind stays stubborn. It’s a long blank run of messy surf.

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.
