The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's gonna be a long, quiet stretch. The swell window is just not cooperating, and most days we're looking at poor surf conditions. For the next week, from Sunday the 13th right through to the following Saturday the 26th, it's essentially a write-off for any decent waves. There’s barely anything breaking, and what little energy shows up is plagued by onshore wind.
The first real glimmer of something happens on Monday the 21st of September. We see a pulse of long-period groundswell, 16 seconds from the NNW, pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 636. Izquierda (reef) will see chest-high waves around 3 ft. The problem is the wind stays cross-onshore, which will keep things a little bumpy. The tide could also be a factor. It’s only a 2 out of 10 on the quality scale – a real "maybe if you're desperate" kind of day. For the morning after, Tuesday the 22nd, the swell holds a little but the wind swings fully onshore again, killing any real quality.
Looking further out, the best bet in this whole outlook is Saturday the 26th of September. We get another long-period groundswell, 16 seconds from the NNW, with combined energy hitting a moderate 410. Swell height is only about 2 ft, so it's small, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the ENE. It's still not clean, but it's the best we’re going to get. Sunday the 27th sees a similar sized swell, 4 ft from the NNW with a 13-second period and energy of 662, but again, that cross-onshore wind chops it up. Still, if you're desperate for a paddle, these are your windows.
So, the standout? If you can wait, Saturday the 26th of September at Izquierda is the pick of a very poor bunch. A tiny, long-period groundswell from the NNW with light cross-onshore winds. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see in a long time. For the rest of the forecast, honestly, the kite surfers might have more fun than us.
Stay patient, 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.
