The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a surf this week, you’re gonna be disappointed. The next week and a half is a write-off. We’ve got a solid 10 days of poor surf conditions ahead, with a mix of onshore winds and small, short-period junk that won’t deliver a thing. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Monday, September 14th, and even then, it’s a one-morning-only window.
The Only Real Window: Monday, September 14th
We’ve been waiting, and it finally looks like a tiny, clean window. Early Monday morning at Izquierda, the stars nearly align. The wind goes glassy with a light SSW breeze at 5 km/h, and we’ve got a 2ft swell from the NNW. The period jumps to a very long 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The combined energy is moderate at 229 – enough to push through, but it’s small. This is a reef break, and with that long period, it’s going to be orderly and clean. However, it’s only 2ft, so you’ll be on a longboard or a fish. The downside: it’s only a morning deal. By Monday afternoon, the wind swings back onshore from the WNW, and the magic’s gone. This spot is consistent, and crowds are possible, so get there early if you want a piece.
The Rest of the Run
After Monday morning, it’s back to the grind. Tuesday the 15th through the end of the forecast period is a sad story. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore from the N and NNE, blowing at 15 to 25 km/h. The swell stays tiny, between 1ft and 2ft, with short periods of 8 to 12 seconds. The raw energy drops to weak levels (often under 100). It’s just not worth paddling out for. The last few days, from the 19th to the 23rd, see a tiny bump to 4ft, but the wind is still onshore, and the period is short, so it’s just messy. This is a consistent reef break, so it normally pumps, but this is a rough patch. Stick to the coffee shop until the 14th.
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.
