The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get right into it for Izquierda. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards, but for the next week and a half or so, it’s going to be a battle with the wind.
The pattern is pretty straightforward: a persistent northerly swell rolling in, but the wind is locked in from the north-northeast for most of the period, blowing straight onshore. That means the wave face is going to be chopped up and messy. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Starting Wednesday the 22nd of July, we’ve got 5ft of north swell with a short period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 204 (moderate), but with a fresh breeze at 19 mph straight on it, the surf is going to be a real struggle. That’s the story right through the rest of the month. The swell hangs around 4ft to 7ft, but the wind stays fresh to strong from the north-northeast, onshore. Saturday the 25th sees the swell push up to 7ft with energy hitting 464 (moderate), and the wind ramps to 25 mph in the afternoon – that’s going to be a washing machine, more suited to kite surfing than anything on a paddle board.
We finally get a bit of relief on the 31st of July, Friday morning. The swell drops slightly to 5ft, still north, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind eases to a gentle breeze at 9 mph, but it’s still onshore. The energy is 309 (moderate), but it’s still just “poor surf conditions” in the data. Not the clean-up we’re hoping for.
Now, the standout – and you’ll have to wait for it – is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning looks promising. The swell jumps to 8ft from the north with an 8-second period, and combined energy is a big 799 (strong to very strong). The wind goes light out of the north-northwest at 6 mph, still onshore, but that light breeze is the best we’ve seen. 8ft is getting into the zone where it’s a bit much for beginners, but for the intermediate crew, it could be a rare treat. The conditions are described as “marginal,” which is a big step up from the rest of the forecast. However, by the afternoon, the wind picks back up to 16 mph moderate breeze and the quality drops again. That morning window on the 2nd is the only real chance at something decent in the whole 16-day stretch.
The following week, the 5th and 6th of August, the swell drops back to 3ft and 3ft, with some longer period energy (12-10 seconds) that could shape up nice if the wind ever gets right, but it stays cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s still a write-off.
To be honest, if you’re looking for a paddle, you’re better off sleeping in for most of this. The only real glimmer is that Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. It’s not much to hang your hat on, but it’s the best we’ve got.
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.
