The Lowdown
Right. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Izquierda.
Alright, straight up, this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window from the 8th of August through to the 23rd of August is a write-off for decent surfing. There’s simply nothing good to recommend. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions, and the scores reflect that. It’s a long, blank run.
The pattern is relentless: consistent onshore winds from the north and north-northeast, blowing at 12 mph to 19 mph the whole time. That’s just shredding any chance of a clean face. The swell is there, but it’s all short-period, weak windswell. The period barely gets above 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is mostly in the low to mid 200s (257 to 288), which is only moderate energy, but it’s messy and unrideable. Heights are stuck between 3 ft and 5 ft, but with that wind, it’s just a washing machine.
For a reef break that’s exposed to the north-west, having the wind hammering straight from the north is the worst-case scenario. It’s an onshore mess. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no drama there, but it won’t make up for the wind.
To be honest, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re desperate to get wet, you’d be battling bumpy, choppy conditions. The only small glimmer is on the 22nd of August, Saturday morning, when the wind eases to a gentle 9 mph, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s still choppy. That’s not a recommendation.
Sometimes the forecast changes, but for now, the board stays in the car. The reef is getting plenty of water, but it’s not worth it.
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.
