The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Izquierda is a tough one to call. There’s barely any surf worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of something rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 18th of September, and even then it’s a marginal call. That leaves about a 15-day gap with almost nothing on offer, so keep your expectations real low.
Right now, from Thursday the 3rd right through to Thursday the 17th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell’s small, around 1 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the north and north-northeast, blowing at 9 to 19 mph. That combo just shreds any chance of clean waves. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, nothing wild. Wave energy is weak to moderate at best—ranging from 62 to 508 (combined energy of all swells directed here), but with poor surf conditions flagged every day, it’s hard to get excited.
There’s a brief spike on the 8th and 9th with swell around 5 ft from the north, period around 8 seconds, and energy topping 508. But the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore at 16 to 19 mph, so it’ll be messy and choppy. Not worth the drive. Even the best-looking setup—Monday the 7th afternoon shows a 2 ft swell from the northwest with a 14-second period, energy at 443—sounds promising for a clean groundswell, but it’s paired with 19 mph onshore wind and marked as poor. That swell at a reef like Izquierda could have some shape, but the wind kills it.
The only faint glimmer is Friday the 18th of September. Morning surf shows 3 ft from the north with a 10-second period, light winds from the northeast at only 3 mph (cross-on), and energy up to 288. It’s flagged as “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” but the light breeze means it won’t be totally blown out. That’s your best shot in the whole outlook—tiny but clean-ish. For a beginner, 3 ft is fine; for anyone else, it’s a micro-session.
Izquierda is a reef break, exposed to the north, consistent, and works best with northwest swell. It’s for intermediates and up. Crowds are possible sometimes, but with surf this poor, you’ll likely have it to yourself. Nothing here is a standout. The whole period is a flat spell with poor conditions. Hang tight.
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.
