Table - best surf conditions forecast for Izquierda over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get this straight: the outlook for the next 16 days at Izquierda is a long, quiet stretch of nothing special. This is a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the NW, and it’s got the right direction for good swell, but the wind and wave quality just aren’t cooperating. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
Right now, starting Sunday, July 12th, we’ve got a weak, short-period NW swell coming in at around 4 ft, with a period of just 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (177), and with a cross-onshore NNE breeze at 9 mph, the surface is already choppy. The forecasters are calling it poor. Not worth paddling out for.
Monday, July 13th through Wednesday, July 15th stays small, with swell dropping to 3 ft or less and the period staying under 9 seconds. The wind stays cross-on from the NE or NNE, between 12 and 19 mph, keeping the waves messy. The combined energy drops into the double digits (68-105) on the 14th. It’s pretty flat.
Thursday, July 16th to Sunday, July 20th sees a slight bump, with swell heights pushing 4 ft to 5 ft, but the period is still short (7 to 8 seconds) and the wind turns onshore from the N or NNE, blowing 12 to 19 mph. The combined energy climbs into the low 200s (188-242), but the onshore wind will ruin any chance of a clean face. It’s all poor surf.
Monday, July 21st to Wednesday, July 23rd backs off again, with 3-4 ft swell and periods of 6-7 seconds. The wind is still onshore from the NNE, blowing 12-19 mph. The combined energy is weak (103-115). Not worth a second look.
Thursday, July 24th to Sunday, July 27th sees the swell start to build, reaching 5 ft to 6 ft by the 26th. The combined energy gets up to 342, which is moderate wave energy. But the wind stays onshore from the N or NNE, 16-22 mph. The period is only 7-8 seconds, so it’s still a short, wind-blown mess. The only highlight is the slight increase in size, but it won’t be clean.
Best on offer: Honestly, there’s no standout. The best you could hope for is the weekend of the 25th-27th, when the swell is at its biggest (5-6 ft), but the onshore wind and short period mean it’s only for the hardcore or the kite surfers. The reef won’t be holding shape. For the average surfer, this is a long gap of poor conditions. The near-term is a write-off, and the long-range is only slightly better but still messy. Keep your gear in the car and wait for a change.

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.
