The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf conditions, day after day. The wind is just hammering us from the north and north-northeast, and it’s relentless. It’s gonna be a solid two-week grind with nothing really worth paddling out for.

Let’s start with Izquierda, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north-west. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But from Tuesday the 4th of August right through to Wednesday the 19th of August, it’s a total write-off. Every single session is tagged with “poor surf conditions.” The swell is small, mostly around 3 ft to 6 ft, but that’s not the problem – the wind is the killer. It’s onshore or cross-onshore, blowing a moderate to fresh breeze (12 mph to 19 mph) every day, just ruining any chance of a clean face. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, hitting a three-digit peak of 516 on Saturday the 8th of August, but with that wind, it’s just a messy, choppy scene. The swell period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real grunt behind it.

There is a small glimmer around the 17th and 18th of August when the period stretches out to 9 seconds, but the wind is still on it, and the swell is only 4 ft to 5 ft. It’s still gonna be a battle. For a reef break like this, that long-period energy (9 seconds is decent) would be nice if the wind was right, but it’s not. The setup is just too blown out for paddle surfing. Honestly, with these consistent onshore winds and a beach-and-reef setup, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle.

So, bottom line: there is no standout session here. Not one. It’s a 16-day blank with poor conditions from start to finish. When it’s this rough, you just gotta wait for the forecasts to change. It won’t stay this bad forever.

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.
