The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at Izquierda (reef), and the whole 16-day window is a write-off. There are no good surf options at all. From Thursday the 6th of August right through to Friday the 21st of August, every single session is a dud. That’s a solid two-week gap with nothing to get excited about.
The pattern is stubborn. A persistent northerly wind regime is just hammering the coast. Most days we’re looking at 15 to 19 mph winds, sometimes up to 22 mph, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore. That’s wrecking any chance of clean waves. The swell is weak, with combined wave energy hanging around the 175 to 323 range, which is only moderate at best. The swell period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, meaning weak, messy, short-period windswell. The wave heights bounce between 3 ft and 5 ft, but with that wind, it’s just lumpy, choppy, and poor.
There’s not a single standout. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Friday the 21st of August, where the swell direction is from the north with a slightly longer period of 10 seconds, and the wind drops to 12 mph. But even then, it’s still onshore and the surf conditions are rated as poor. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
For a break like Izquierda, which is consistent and exposed, this kind of blank run is a bit unusual, but it happens. The forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever, but right now, I’d say save your energy and wax. There’s nothing here for us.
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.
