The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. The surf forecast for the next couple weeks is a bit of a waiting game. Don't get too excited for the next few days, because it's pretty flat out there. We're looking at a dry spell from now until Thursday, the 7th. Tiny, weak waves, mostly under a foot and a half, with short periods. The water is sitting at 74°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Things get a little more interesting on Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, with the swell bumping up to around 4ft from the NE. It's not going to be stellar, but it's something. The period is short, so expect soft, crumbly waves. Not great, but you could get wet if you're keen.
The real window, the one we're all waiting for, is the middle of next week. From Wednesday, the 12th through Saturday, the 15th, we see a solid pulse of swell. We're looking at waves in the 5 to 6ft range from the NE. The energy jumps up significantly, and the winds are looking clean and light, mostly cross-off or glassy. This is where we find the standout.
Now, for the main event, I'm sending you to La Izquierda. It's a consistent reef break that's exposed to the NW. It'll handle this swell okay. The best bet looks like Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, with a solid 6ft NE swell. The winds are light offshore, making for clean, lined-up conditions. Saturday morning the 15th is looking like the pick of the bunch, with early glass and good size.
This is a reef, so it'll handle the shorter period better than a beach break, but even then, it's not going to be perfect. Expect a crowd, as this spot is often busy. Get in early.
After that, the swell fades fast. Sunday the 16th drops right back down to 2ft and that's about it. The rest of the window is mostly flat and forgettable. So, don't rush out there this week. Wait for next Friday and Saturday, the 14th and 15th, and hit La Izquierda. It's a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed, but it's got potential.

Information about the La Izquierda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Izquierda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Izquierda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La 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 (La 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 La 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.
La Izquierda is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Adeje. If you plan a holiday in Tenerife, look for hotels and other accommodation in Adeje. Adeje has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
