Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into this one.
We’re looking at Izquierda, a consistent reef break, and the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag. Honestly, the pattern that stands out is a whole lot of onshore wind and not much in the way of clean conditions. The water temp is sitting around 71°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no weirdness there.
Saturday the 11th is a write-off: tiny 2 ft northerly slop with a 5-second period, and that’s about as weak as it gets (combined swell energy: 34). Not worth paddling for.
Sunday the 12th sees a bump in size — 4 ft from the northwest, 8-second period — but it’s cross-onshore and choppy (160 energy). Not great. Monday the 13th stays similar with 3 ft NNW swell, still cross-onshore and choppy (177 energy). Through the rest of that first week into the weekend, the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and while the swell builds from 3 ft to 5 ft by Thursday the 16th, the wind is still on, so the quality is poor. Energy climbs into the 250-300 range, but it’s messy.
Now, the standout window. From Sunday the 20th of July through to Monday the 21st, we see the biggest clean-ish swell of the period, with 7 ft to 7 ft from the north, 9-second period, and while the wind is still onshore, the energy jumps up (723 on the Monday morning). But that size is only for experts really. The break is consistent, and it’s exposed to the NW swell, but the wind just won’t play ball.
If I’m picking the absolute best on offer, it’s Wednesday the 22nd of July morning: 4 ft from the north, 9-second period, lighter onshore wind (25 km/h / 16 mph) and the energy is dropping to 254. It’s not perfect, but it’s the least affected by strong wind across the whole run. Still, not a day to write home about.
Through the final days of the forecast, from Thursday the 24th into the weekend, the swell stays solid — 7 ft to 7 ft from the north — but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it choppy and poor. Energy stays high (585-775), but for paddle surfing, this is a tough sell.
Overall, there’s about a two-week stretch from Saturday the 11th through to the end of the period with almost no clean conditions. The spot is consistent, but the wind is the enemy here. If you’re wanting to get wet, aim for the lighter wind windows mid-week from the 22nd, but don’t expect perfection.
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.
