The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Izquierda over the next 16 days is a bit of a heartbreaker. This spot is a consistent reef break that normally loves a NW swell, but what we’re seeing is a long, drawn-out stretch of poor surf conditions with hardly a moment to get excited about.
We kick off on Friday the 24th of July and there’s swell showing, around 6 ft from the north, but the wind is a solid 22 mph onshore from the NNE. It’s messy, it’s bumpy, and the combined energy is low at 359 – just weak, choppy, wind-affected waves. Not surfable in any decent way. This same pattern of onshore NNE winds and 5 ft to 6 ft north swell (with periods of only 7 to 8 seconds) hangs around right through the end of July and into the start of August. The water temp is 72°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re getting your hopes dashed. By Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st, the swell drops below 3 ft and the energy fades to a pathetic 73 to 127, just weak little windswell.
There is a tiny shift around the 1st and 2nd of August. We get a touch of WNW swell, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up a bit – around 170. Wind also eases, with light breezes on Sunday morning. But the swell height is still only 3 ft to 3 ft, so it’s small and weak. You might find a rideable wave if you’re desperate, but it’s not a standout.
The best of a bad bunch might be Monday the 3rd of August. The swell is from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds, pushing combined energy up to 281. It’s still only 3 ft, so you won’t be getting any barrel time, but the winds are lighter (9-12 mph), so it’ll be less of a battle. But honestly, calling this the “best” is like saying a lukewarm coffee is the best drink in a house with no water.
After that, it’s back to onshore winds and choppy, poor conditions for the rest of the outlook period, with energy staying around the 230 to 345 range. Nothing breaks through.
No standouts here, folks. This is a blank run for Izquierda. You’d be better off waxing your board, checking the forecasts again in a few days, and hoping the wind swings around. For now, it’s a no-go.
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.
