The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s call it like it is – this 16-day stretch at Izquierda is a total dud. It’s a solid left reef, exposed and consistent, with an offshore wind from the south, but the whole forecast window is locked in with NNE to N wind – onshore or cross-onshore, meaning it’s messy. Every single window is rated poor, scores are zero. There isn’t one good wave coming. The first few days, from Monday 24 August through Sunday 30 August, are a washout – wind is 12 to 22 mph from the NNE or N, never cleaning up. Swell runs 3 ft to 6 ft out of the NNW or N, but period is short, 4 to 11 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The combined energy peaks at 948 (moderate) on Saturday morning 29 August, but with a fresh cross-onshore and lumpy conditions, you’re better off on a kite. Water temp is 76° on Monday 24 August – a touch warmer than average, sitting about 3° above the norm.
Into the second week, Monday 31 August through Sunday 6 September, the swell bumps up to 5 ft to 7 ft out of the north, but period stays short, 8-9 seconds. Wind is still onshore or cross-onshore at 12-22 mph. Energy gets into the 600-700 range, but it’s all bumpy, fresh breezes keeping it ugly. Even the bigger 7 ft pulse on Wednesday 2 September is just lumpy and wind-shredded. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle.
On Monday 7 September through Tuesday 8 September, the swell changes character – 4 ft to 4 ft out of the WNW with a long 14-16 second period – that’s proper groundswell, the best shape of the whole run. The combined energy hits 1254 (strong) on Monday afternoon 7 September. But the wind is still NNE to N at 15-19 mph, onshore. The long-period energy is wasted. If it ever turned offshore, you’d have a dream session, but it doesn’t.
So here’s the deal: no good surf in this whole 16-day forecast. Izquierda is usually consistent, so a run of nothing is rare – forecasts change, and this break often fires, but right now you’re just waiting.

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.
