The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch. The entire 16-day window is one long, frustrating gap with no real surf to get excited about. We’re looking at a run of poor surf conditions that just won’t let up.

Starting on Sunday the 26th of July, Izquierda is getting hit with a solid 6 ft north swell, but the wind is howling onshore from the north-northeast at 22 mph. It’s messy, blown out, and the wave energy is moderate (451). The water is sitting at 72°, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

That pattern sticks with us all the way through. Monday the 27th through to the end of July is more of the same – onshore winds, moderate breezes, and swell dropping from 5 ft down to 3 ft. The period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly stuff. The combined energy drops from 233 down to a paltry 99 by Thursday morning – that’s weak wave energy.

Into early August, we get a slight change. On Saturday the 1st of August, the wind finally swings around to a light cross-shore from the east-northeast at 6 mph, but the swell is tiny – just 3 ft. The next day, Sunday the 2nd, the swell direction shifts to the west-northwest with a 9-second period, but it’s only 2 ft and the wind is back onshore. It’s just not coming together.

The whole first week of August is a tease. There’s a bit more push – by Wednesday the 5th, the swell bumps up to 5 ft from the north with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 425. But the wind is still cross-onshore, chopping it up. It’s moderate energy, but it’s not clean.

Friday the 7th of August sees similar conditions – 4 ft north swell, onshore wind, moderate energy (383). Still no good.

Then we get a glimmer. Saturday the 8th of August shows a proper groundswell – 5 ft to 5 ft from the north, with a long period jumping to 12 seconds (very long period) and then 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong, hitting 643 and 663. But the wind is still onshore, blowing 19 mph from the north-northeast. This would be a proper beast at a point break or reef, but with that wind, it’s just a blown-out mess. For a reef like Izquierda, that long-period north swell is the right direction, but the wind ruins it.

The last two days, Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, are more of the same – 6 ft and 5 ft north swell, onshore winds, and moderate energy. It’s a complete washout.

So, the honest truth? There’s no standout session here. The best on offer is probably that Saturday the 8th of August if you’re an expert and don’t mind the wind, but it’s not for the faint of heart. For everyone else, this is a blank run. It’s a tough one, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.

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.
