The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks around Izquierda. Straight up, I’ve gotta level with you – this is a tough run. The swell is there, but the wind is just about all wrong. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, so if you’re after a paddle, you’ll need patience.
Through the end of July and into the first days of August, there’s nothing I’d call rideable. The wind is hammering straight onshore from the north and north-northeast, blowing 12 to 18 mph. That’s a fresh breeze most of the time, and it’s killing the surface. Swell heights sit between 3 ft and 5 ft with a short, weak period of 5 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is low to moderate, mostly under 200. The water temperature is 72°, about average for this time of year. Honestly, it’s all showing as poor surf – not worth paddling out.
We get a break in the onshore wind around Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd – that Saturday afternoon the wind drops to a gentle breeze from the north, but the waves are still small and messy. You might get a grovel, but it’s not where you want to be.
The week starts looking a bit more interesting around Monday the 3rd of August. Swell steps up to 4 ft to 4 ft from the north, period stretching to 8–9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 255–299 – moderate but building. The reef here is consistent and exposed to that north-west swell direction, so it does handle that direction alright. But the wind’s still onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE or NE, blowing 9 to 18 mph. Choppy, messy. Not clean.
Through to Friday the 7th, it’s more of the same – onshore wind, small swell, poor conditions. The energy stays moderate but the surface stays chopped.
Now, hold onto your leggie – there’s a standout on the far horizon. Saturday the 8th of August afternoon. The swell hits 5 ft from the north-east with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps right up to 799 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is still onshore from the north at 18 mph, which is a big letdown, but that’s a serious dose of power. If the wind swings, this would be a real session. As it stands, it’s still listed as poor surf because of that wind, but that energy is worth watching.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August keep the swell up around 5 ft to 6 ft, north-northeast direction, 8-second period, and combined energy in the 400–530 range – solid, strong energy. But again, the wind is still onshore from the north or north-northeast at 12 to 18 mph. It’s consistently blowing the surface to bits. For a reef like Izquierda, that’s a real shame. If you’re a local who knows the zone, you might find a corner, but the conditions are far from clean.
The bottom line: this is a long, poor stretch with no standout clean windows. That Saturday the 8th through Monday the 10th of August has the most power, but the wind is a killer. If you’re into paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting. If the wind ever turns offshore, you’ll have some serious swell to work with. Until then, it’s a rough run.
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.
