The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s coming up. I’ve got just one spot to look at: Izquierda. And straight up, the outlook isn’t pretty. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for quality surf. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from now through to the end of the run. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until way down the track, so there’s a gap of nothing to get excited about.
Right now, starting Monday morning on the 31st of August, Izquierda is seeing a 4 ft swell from the north, with a period of just 8 seconds. The wind is cross-on from the NNE at 16 mph, which is making things choppy. The water is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy of all swells is weak at 237. It’s just poor surf, no way around it.
This junk continues day after day. Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday – all poor. The wind stays onshore or cross-on, mostly from the north, with speeds between 16 and 22 mph. Swell heights bounce between 4 ft and 6 ft, but the period hangs around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, disorganised wind swell. The combined energy kicks up to moderate levels on Wednesday morning with 497, but it doesn’t matter because the wind kills it.
Thursday the 3rd through to the 8th of September is more of the same. Swells drop a little, from 4 ft down to 2 ft, but the wind never plays ball. It’s either onshore or cross-on, and the period stays short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds. On Sunday the 6th afternoon, we get a pulse of 2 ft swell from the NNW with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 316. Still, the wind is onshore from the north at 16 mph, so it’s messy. A long-period swell like that, coming from the NNW, is best at a reef like Izquierda, but not with the wind ruining it.
Then from the 9th to the 14th, it’s tiny and weak. Swells are 1 ft to 4 ft, periods are mixed, but the combined energy stays low, mostly under 200. The 14th of September morning sees a 2 ft swell from the north with a 14-second period, but again, it’s onshore and poor.
Now, here’s a little glimmer, but it’s way out there. On the 15th of September, Tuesday morning, we get a 4 ft swell from the northwest with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 982 – that’s strong. The wind is onshore from the north at 16 mph, but it’s a long-range pulse. Tuesday afternoon sees a 4 ft swell from the NNW with a 15-second period and energy at 855. This is promising, but it’s a long way off, so don’t bank on it. If the wind shifts, this could be the standout, but as it stands, it’s still listed as poor surf conditions.
So, the honest truth: there’s nothing good in this 16-day window for Izquierda. It’s a solid two-week gap with no quality surf. The only thing that comes close to being a standout is that big, long-period northwest swell on the 15th of September, but it’s a long shot and the wind is a problem. Izquierda is a consistent reef break, but it just can’t catch a break with the wind. You’d have to be a real glutton for punishment to paddle out.
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.
