The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s looking like a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m not seeing a single session that’s worth paddling out for in the whole 16-day window. The forecast is a long, flat stretch of poor surf conditions right through. We’ve got a gap that starts right now and runs all the way to the end of the period – no real standouts, no clean waves, just a lot of wind and chop.

The only break on the radar is Izquierda, a reef setup. It’s a consistent spot, exposed to the north-west swell, but the problem is that’s not what’s happening. The swell is coming straight from the north, not the optimum direction, and it’s being hammered by onshore and cross-onshore winds for the entire forecast. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, hitting 735 (moderate) on the 6th of August, but it’s all messy. The water temp is sitting around 73°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – a touch warmer than normal.

From Tuesday morning, July 28th, through to the end, it’s a constant story of north and north-northeast winds. The swell height never gets above 7 ft, but with those winds, it’s just a blown-out mess. The period is short, mostly 7-8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape. On the 5th of August, the swell hits 6 ft with a moderate breeze onshore – still junk. By the 6th of August, the swell gets to 7 ft with a moderate cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and unappealing. Even the later days, like the 12th of August, when the period stretches to 11 seconds from the NNW, the wind is still on it, ruining any chance of a clean wave.

For a spot like this, with that constant north wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surfer’s paradise right now. Don’t hold your breath on this one, folks. It’s just a whole lot of nothing.

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.
