The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles. Same story – Izquierda is a total bust for the next 16 days. This consistent reef loves a north‑west swell, but we’re stuck with north‑north‑east and north wind and swell every day. The wind is onshore, blowing 15–25 mph most of the time, and it’s killing any chance of clean surf.
Water temp is about 73°F, a touch warmer than normal for July. The swell energy ranges from weak (108) on the first Saturday to strong (1618) on the 27th, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is always wrong. Wave heights hit 4–5 ft early, then 5–7 ft midweek, and even 7 ft on the 27th and 29th – but it’s all blown out and coming from the wrong direction. Periods are short to moderate, 6–10 seconds, but the onshore breeze just ruins shape.
The only tiny glimmer is Friday 31 July morning when the wind drops to a gentle breeze (9 mph), but it’s still onshore and the swell is only 5 ft from the north. Still poor. Every day scores a zero – no exceptions. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a rare dry spell. If you’re into kitesurfing, the strong onshore winds and decent push might be fun, but for a surfboard? Forget it.

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.
