The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s gonna be a tough stretch. For the next two weeks, the wind just won’t let up at Izquierda, this exposed reef setup gets hammered by a constant NNE to N onshore and cross-onshore flow. The swell hangs around but the quality blows out. There’s no real standout in the first week and a half; it’s all “poor conditions” with scores of zero. The only glimmer shows up way down the line late in the run.
Monday the 24th kicks it off with a 6ft NNW swell but it’s cross-on from the northeast at 9 mph, making it choppy. The water’s already a touch warmer than normal at 76°. That ENE wind keeps blowing, ramping up through the week. By Saturday the 29th, a pulse of 6ft N swell at 12 seconds shows up with strong energy (1081), but it’s straight onshore NNE at 19 mph. Total mess.
There’s a gap of several days where it’s nothing but onshore junk. Then, on Monday the 7th of September, something changes. The wind finally eases. We get a long-period WNW groundswell (19 seconds!) and a light NW cross-offshore breeze. It’s marginal tide conditions, so you’ll need to pick your moment, but that’s the best window. For a reef break like Izquierda, that long period and offshore angle means clean, lined-up waves (830 combined energy). Tuesday the 8th still has some decent 4ft WNW groundswell at 14 seconds, but the wind swings back to a moderate cross-onshore later.
So if you’re waiting, wait for that Monday 7th of September. It’s the only time the wind and swell line up for a proper session. The rest of the run, I’d be checking the forecast again.

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.
