The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let’s look at Izquierda. It’s a rough start, I won’t lie. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is either too small or too short-period to get your heart pumping. We’re looking at a stretch of nearly ten days with nothing worth paddling out for. A real dry spell.
The first hint of life shows up on Monday, August 10th. That morning, a north swell pushes in at about 5ft, with a period around 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 325 (moderate). The wind is still onshore from the north at 25 km/h, so it’s not clean, but at least there’s some size.
The real standout is Wednesday, August 12th. The swell builds to a solid 6ft from the north, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 387 and then 427 (strong). That’s a lot of power. The wind stays onshore from the north-northeast at 25 km/h, so the surface won’t be perfect. But for a consistent reef break exposed to the northwest, with the optimum swell direction from the NW, this north swell is a bit off-angle. Still, it’s the biggest and most energetic push of the whole 16 days. This is for the experienced crew only; 6ft on a reef with onshore wind is no joke.
Thursday, August 13th, keeps that 6ft north swell rolling, with combined energy even higher at 467 and 477 (strong). Same windy story. By Friday, August 14th, the swell drops to about 5ft, period lengthening to 9 seconds, and energy still strong at 432. The wind picks up to 30 km/h from the north, making it choppy.
So, the best bet is Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August. If you’re an expert and can handle the wind, that’s your window. The water temp is 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for something worthwhile.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
