The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I won't sugarcoat it—this stretch at Izquierda is a rough one.
Looking at the next couple of weeks, the guidance shows it's a consistent reef that works best with NW swell, but the wind gods are just not on our side. We're in for a long dry spell with no real windows of opportunity.
From Friday, August 28th, it kicks off with a 35 km/h NNE breeze making it cross-on and lumpy. That 1.5m swell from the north is weak and gutless with a 6-second period. The combined energy is a pathetic 190.
The situation stays the same all weekend and into the next week. Onshore or cross-on winds from the N or NNE, 25-35 km/h, pound the place. Swell hangs around 1 to 1.9m but with short periods, and it's all from the wrong direction. Even when the combined energy hits a moderate 929 on Saturday, August 29th, the wind turns it into a choppy mess. Not for surfing.
By September 4th and 5th, it gets smaller—0.9m to 1.2m with 7-8 second periods and a cross-shore breeze from the WNW. The energy is weak (120-199). Not worth it.
September 6th has a glimmer of hope with a long-period 13-second swell from the NNW and moderate energy (258-282), but it’s cursed by a 20 km/h cross-on wind from the NW. That’s a crumbly, bumpy combination that kills the wave shape.
After that, it's flat. From September 8th to 10th, we're looking at 0.5m-0.8m waves with pathetic energy (84-123). A total blank period.
September 11th and 12th show a slight pulse, with 1.5m-1.6m swell from the north and a 9-10 second period, giving moderate energy (503-797). But the wind is still onshore from the N and NNE. It’s the least bad option, but still blown to bits. Water temp here is 24°C, a touch warmer than usual.
Honestly, for this whole 16-day window, there's not a single standout. The wind is relentless and from the wrong direction. If you're looking at this spot, it's probably better for a kite session than a paddle.
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.
