The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—it’s a grim stretch ahead. There isn’t a single decent wave on the cards in the next sixteen days for Izquierda. Not one. The surf’s on, but it’s messy, wind-blown, and just plain ugly. The swell’s coming from the north and northeast, which is the wrong direction for this reef, and the wind’s blowing onshore or cross-onshore most of the time, chopping everything up.
We’re looking at a long, blank run. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 75°, which is noticeable but not crazy. But that’s about the only highlight.
The first few days, Friday and Saturday the 21st and 22nd, are small and weak, with swell around 3-4 ft and short, bumpy 6-7 second periods. The energy is weak, in the 150–200 range. Onshore northerly winds just make it a mess. Not worth getting wet.
Sunday the 23rd afternoon sees a little pulse—4 ft at 14 seconds—and the energy jumps to 834 (moderate). But the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and lumpy. That long period might offer some shape at this reef, but it’s not going to be clean.
Monday the 24th has the biggest swell of the early run, 6 ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and energy around 938 (moderate). But again, the onshore wind ruins it. It’s a lost opportunity. Tuesday drops back a bit, Wednesday is small and weak again.
Then it gets properly ugly. Thursday the 27th sees a fresh cross-onshore breeze and a messy 5 ft. Friday the 28th is the worst of the lot: 7 ft of wind-whipped slop with a strong cross-onshore breeze. That’s too big for beginners, but it’s also so messy that only a masochist would paddle out. This looks more like a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing day.
The weekend of the 29th and 30th stays poor—around 6-7 ft, but with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. The energy is moderate, but it doesn’t matter when the surface is blown out.
Into the first week of September, the swell stays in the 4-5 ft range, but the wind is relentless—onshore or cross-onshore, 15-19 mph, keeping everything messy. The longer-range stuff from the 2nd onwards is a bit smaller, but it’s the same story: onshore wind, short-period junk. The energy readings are weak to moderate, but it’s all for nothing.
The bottom line: there are no standouts, no hidden gems. This is just a flat, blown-out, miserable stretch for this spot. The breaks are consistent, but the conditions are consistently bad. It won’t stay like this forever, but for the next sixteen days, save your energy.
Rusty, out.

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.
