The Lowdown

Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the coming weeks and, to be honest, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Izquierda. This is a consistent reef break that’s wide open to the north-west swell, but the wind is gonna be the main problem – it’s mostly blowing onshore from the north-northeast, and there’s a moderate to fresh breeze hanging around for days on end. That’s not going to make for pretty waves.

The first possible surfable day isn’t until Tuesday the 11th, but even then the conditions are poor. The surf is small, around 3ft, coming from the north, with a short, weak period of just 6 seconds. The wave energy is very low, only about 118, so it’s really not worth paddling out. The wind is onshore, and the water is sitting at 74° – that’s about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus if you’re in the water, but it won’t fix the wind.

We’re looking at a solid stretch of days where the reports read “poor surf conditions” over and over. The swell height does bump up slightly, hitting 5ft on Saturday morning the 15th under a cross-on wind from the north-northeast, and the energy climbs to 311 (moderate), but the wind is cranking at 18 mph and it’s coming from the wrong angle. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. Not a day for a clean ride.

There’s a tiny bit of hope around Tuesday the 18th – the wind drops to 9 mph from the north, and the swell period stretches to 9 seconds, which adds a bit more shape. The wave height is 4ft, and energy is 260 (moderate). Still onshore, but it’s the cleanest of the bunch. If you’re desperate, that morning might be the least messy, but it’s still a far cry from good.

The rest of the outlook through to Wednesday the 26th is more of the same: onshore winds, small to moderate swell (2ft to 4ft), short periods, and poor conditions. There’s a cross-on wind again on the 26th, so it’s no good then either.

Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The closest thing to a “pick” might be the morning of Tuesday the 18th, with the lightest wind and longest period, but it’s not a good day. I wouldn’t bother getting too excited about this forecast. When the forecast is this consistently poor, sometimes it’s better to just watch the tide and wait for a fresh forecast. It won’t stay this bad forever.

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.
