The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m bringing you the full picture for La Izquierda.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking flat as a pancake. We’re talking a solid 9 days of barely a ripple. From Monday the 27th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, under 2ft, and the energy readings are pathetic – we’re looking at single-digit or low double-digit combined energy (11 to 99). You’ll be sitting on a foamie in a lake. No good.
Come Saturday the 1st of August, there’s a tiny pulse, but it’s still just surfable, not good. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is nice, but it’s not enough to get excited about.
Then things start to get interesting around the 6th of August. We get a bit of a bump from the NE. Thursday morning the 6th shows a 4ft NE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit junky. The combined energy (150) is moderate. The wind is clean from the ESE, so it’s surfable but not a standout.
The real spark comes on Sunday the 9th of August. The afternoon session is looking promising. We’ve got a 5ft NE swell with a short 6-second period, but the combined energy jumps to 200 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a clean offshore 9 mph from the E, and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” For a spot that’s been dead, this is a solid pulse. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so that short-period swell might be a bit messy, but with offshore wind, it’ll be clean.
The best of the whole run, though, looks like Tuesday the 11th of August. The afternoon has a 4ft NE swell, a slightly better 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 253 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SE at 9 mph. The report again says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the one. For a place that’s been silent for so long, this is a real stand-out.
The water temperature here is about 74°, which is 0.9° above the norm, so pretty average for this time of year.
La Izquierda is an advanced reef break, and it’s consistent. It’s exposed to the NW, and the optimum swell direction is from the NW. The swells we get are from the NE, so it’s a bit off-angle, but still enough to get it going. The crowds are listed as “often,” so be prepared for a few people out there, especially if it’s the only thing breaking.
So, to sum it up: the first 9 days are a total bust. Then, there’s a small window of surfable waves from the 6th to the 9th, with the best two sessions being the afternoon of Sunday the 9th and, most importantly, the afternoon of Tuesday the 11th of August. That Tuesday is your best bet.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
