The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a pretty grim stretch for our spot. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions from the get-go, and it doesn’t let up. The wind is hammering us from the north-northeast and north, blowing straight onshore, just ruining everything. The water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real kick of swell comes in on Thursday, 23 July, with a 5ft north swell, but it’s only got a 7-second period, and that 19 mph onshore wind from the NNE is going to make it a messy, choppy mess. The combined energy is moderate at 241. The same story repeats into Friday and Saturday, with the swell building to 7ft on Saturday morning, but still with that 22 mph onshore wind. The energy climbs to 466 on Saturday morning, but with those conditions, it’s just not surfable. By Sunday, the 26th, the swell is still at 6ft, but the wind stays on it.
We go through a whole week of this, with the swell dropping down to 4ft and 4ft through the middle of the week, but the wind never lets up. It’s all onshore, all the time. The periods are short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape to the waves.
There is a brief moment on the 2nd of August where the swell direction shifts to the WNW for a short time, with a 2ft swell and a 9-second period, but the wind is still onshore, so it’s nothing to get excited about. The energy is low at 127.
The real kicker comes on the 7th of August, Friday. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, with a 8-second period, and the combined energy gets strong at 513 and 637 respectively. But that wind is still blowing 19 mph from the north-northeast. It’s pure onshore, making it a total washout. For any surfer, it’s a hard pass. This setup is so windy and weak with that short period, it’s honestly looking more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone on a paddle board.
The bottom line: there is not a single window in this 16-day outlook where the conditions line up for a decent surf. It’s a long, dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s about as poor as it gets.
Stay patient, don’t bother paddling out until the wind sorts itself out.
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.
