The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve gotta start with the bad news first. The whole 16-day window is a tough one for surfers. The wind is blowing straight onshore, and it’s relentless. For the entire stretch, from the 22nd of August all the way through to the 6th of September, there’s not a single session that I’d paddle out for. The swell is getting blown to bits, and the water’s getting chopped up, so if you’re looking for a wave, you’re gonna be looking real hard.
The spot we’re talking about is Izquierda, a reef break. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only good news from the ocean.
The first real push of swell comes in on the 23rd of August, with a 4ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is howling onshore at 12 mph. It’s all messy. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 823, but it’s wasted. The wind stays onshore, and the quality is poor across the board.
As we move into the week, the swell gets bigger. On the 29th of August, there’s a 7ft swell from the north, with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is strong at 926. But the wind is still onshore at 22 mph. That’s too big for beginners, and the onshore wind is going to turn it into a washing machine. This is only for the experts, and even they won’t have a good time.
The whole second week is more of the same. The wind is steady, the swell is there, but it’s all blown out. Even when the swell drops down to 3ft on the 6th of September, the wind is still onshore. There’s just no let-up.
So, to put it straight: there’s no standout session here. Not a single one. The best advice I can give is to wait for the next forecast. It’s a blank run, and it’s a long one.
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.
