The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Izquierda. This is a consistent reef break that usually loves a good NW swell, but for the next 16 days, it's pretty grim. Right from the start, Tuesday morning September 1, we've got 4.9 ft of messy N swell with a short 8-second period and a fresh cross-onshore breeze from the NNE at 19 mph. Water temp is 75.0°, which is a touch warmer than normal (2.5° anomaly) for early September. The combined energy is moderate (272), but the wind is just ruining it. And it doesn't get better. For the whole first week, winds are either onshore or cross-onshore, mostly moderate to fresh, and the swell direction stays north or north-northwest – not the optimum NW we need. Swell heights bounce around 3.0 ft to 6.2 ft, but period is short, 6-8 seconds most of the time, so it's lumpy and weak. There's one morning – Sunday September 13 – where we get a light cross-shore breeze from the WNW at 6 mph and a 3.9 ft N swell with a 9-second period, combined energy 306. The forecast calls it marginal, and honestly with those conditions it might be the least terrible of the lot, but it's still not good. After that, the second week sees similar onshore winds and dropping swell heights down to 1.3 ft by Wednesday September 16. So basically, there's no proper surf on offer in the entire 16-day window. This is a break that usually has consistent waves, but the wind and swell alignment just aren't there. If you're desperate, maybe that Sunday morning is worth a paddle, but don't expect much. Keep an

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.
