The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to the chase. For the next 16 days at Izquierda, it’s a rough patch. This is a consistent reef break, but the wind is coming from the wrong direction constantly, and it’s going to mess up any chance of a clean wave.
From Sunday, August 9th, all the way through to Monday, August 24th, the wind is onshore from the north or north-northeast, blowing at 15 to 30 km/h. The swell is small, mostly 3 to 5 feet, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, short-period windswell. The combined wave energy starts at 159 and climbs to 343 by the final Monday, but it’s all blown out.
The first few days are a total bust. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are all poor surf conditions with a moderate to fresh breeze right onshore. The wind calms a little on the morning of Monday, August 17th, to a gentle breeze, but the swell drops to just 3 feet with a combined energy of 105, and the wind is still onshore. Not worth it.
The biggest swell shows up on the morning of Thursday, August 21st, at 5 feet, but it’s still from the north with a short period of 7 seconds and a fresh onshore breeze. The combined energy is 199, which is moderate, but the surf quality is still poor. The last day, Monday, August 24th, has the best energy—343 combined—with a swell period of 10 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not going to be clean.
Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing special.
Honestly, the wind is the enemy here. This is more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one. The only silver lining? The reef won’t be crowded because nobody’s going to be out there in this mess.
Rusty out.

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.
