Table - best surf conditions forecast for Izquierda over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Izquierda is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for a decent paddle. The swell is coming from the right direction, NW, but it's just a mess of wind and poor conditions every single day. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 73°, but that won't make you feel any better about the surf.
We start off on Sunday, July 12th, with a small 4ft NW swell (177 energy) but it's already onshore and messy. The wind stays on it all day, swapping from NNE to N, and it just gets worse. Monday the 13th is more of the same – a knee-high 3ft wave with a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and unrideable. Tuesday and Wednesday, the swell drops right off to 2ft and 3ft, with energy levels falling below 100, so there's basically no push. Combine that with moderate cross-onshore winds, and you've got nothing but a bumpy, flat lake.
There's a bit of a pulse coming through from Thursday the 16th, with swell picking up to 4ft and then 5ft by Friday, but it's all short-period, wind-affected junk. The wind ramps up to 19 mph, onshore, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (220-281), but it's all whitecaps and blown-out closeouts. This pattern of onshore wind and poor surf holds right through the weekend and into the following week. From July 18th to the 25th, the swell holds steady between 5ft and 6ft, with moderate energy readings between 340 and 505, but the wind is relentless – fresh onshore breezes the whole time. It's consistently described as "poor surf conditions." For a surfer, this is a full-on skip. The consistent 19-22 mph onshore wind and the beach setup would make this far more interesting for kite surfing than for a traditional paddle surfer.
The last few days, July 26th and 27th, see the swell back down to 4ft – 4ft, but the wind is still onshore and the energy is low. There's simply no window of clean, rideable surf in the entire 16-day forecast. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Best to save the wax for another day.
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.
