The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it is. Rusty here, looking at the charts for our spot.
Truth is, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got waves, sure, but the wind is the problem. It’s blowing straight onshore from the north-northeast and north, a fresh breeze that just won't let up, and it’s going to trash every single session. The energy is there, with moderate combined swell energy in the 200s to 500s, peaking around 589 on the Sunday the 26th, but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
Looking at *Izquierda*, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north-west. The swell is coming from the north, which isn't its ideal direction, and on top of that, the onshore wind is going to make it a choppy, bumpy mess. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole first week is a total loss. The morning of Tuesday the 22nd through to the afternoon of Sunday the 27th sees swell heights hovering between 5ft and 7ft, with a period of 7 to 8 seconds, but the wind is an unrelenting 18 to 25 mph onshore. It’s just poor surf conditions, day after day.
That pattern continues into the second week. From Monday the 28th of July right through to the last entry on Wednesday the 5th of August, we’re stuck in the same loop. The swell drops a bit, down to 4ft to 5ft, and the wind eases slightly to a moderate or fresh breeze, but it’s still onshore. There’s one morning on Monday the 4th of August where the wind goes cross-onshore, but it’s still a fresh breeze, so it’s not going to clean it up.
There is no standout session. Nothing. The best thing a surfer can do is leave the board in the car and go do something else. With this much onshore wind and a beach-and-reef setup, this honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
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.
