The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead for Izquierda. Honestly, the whole 16-day window is flat and frustrating. If you’re hanging for a wave, you’ll be waiting. From Saturday, August 8th, right through to the end, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind is a constant North onshore, ruining everything. Saturday kicks off with a 4ft swell from the North, but with 15 mph wind right on it, it’s just junk. Waist-high slop, and the combined energy is only 243 – that’s really weak. Water temp is a balmy 73°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing while you’re getting nothing.
That same story holds for the whole first week. Swell stays between 3ft and 5ft, period is short, 6 to 8 seconds, and the wind is relentless from the N or NNE, onshore or cross-onshore. The strongest energy we see is 311 on Saturday the 15th, and that’s still poor. Short period, onshore wind, messy conditions – you’d be fighting all day. Since it’s a reef break here with these short-period windswells and strong onshore flow, the setup actually looks way more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Crowds are marked as “sometimes,” but with waves this bad, nobody will be out.
Into the second week, from around Wednesday the 19th, the swell drops further to 3ft – 3ft, still from the North, and the period stretches out to 9 seconds sometimes. That’s a bit better shape, but the wind is still onshore and moderate to fresh. The energy drops to between 115 and 194, so it’s not even worth a second look. The whole 16 days is a bust. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a tough run. It won’t stay this way forever, forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty, signing out.

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.
