The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch to call. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. The main issue is that the wind is almost constantly howling onshore from the north-northeast, and the swell that's coming in is mostly short-period, messy windswell that just can't get its act together. We're looking at a solid block of what the data calls "poor surf conditions" from the start right through to the end of the period. There's no standout, no hidden gem, no session to get excited about.
The only break in the data is Izquierda, a consistent reef break that's exposed to the north-west. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a nice surprise, but it doesn't help the waves. The combined swell energy fluctuates, hitting a moderate 388 (Friday the 7th morning) and even a 408 (Saturday the 8th morning), but that energy is coming from the wrong direction with the wrong wind. For a spot that prefers a north-west swell, getting a short-period, 5ft to 6ft wave from the north with onshore wind is just a recipe for a choppy, blown-out mess. It's not for beginners. The period is mostly under 8 seconds, which is pure windswell, and it's going to look like a washing machine.
There is a slight flicker of hope on the 19th of August, a Wednesday morning, where the wind drops to a light breeze from the north-northeast, swinging offshore, and the swell, although only 2ft, has a period of 12 seconds from the north-northwest. That's a proper groundswell. 2ft is tiny, but if it's glassy and clean over that reef, it could be a fun little wave for a sneaky session. But that's a long way off and the models are less certain that far out. For the rest of the run, it's a hard pass. The setup is more interesting for a kiteboarder than a paddler.
Stay patient, keep the wax in the wrapper, and check back with me. The forecasts can shift.
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.
