The Lowdown
G’day crew, Rusty here. Let me cut straight to it. The next couple of weeks at Izquierda look pretty ordinary, to be honest. The wind’s blowing strong from the north and northeast almost every day, and while the swell hangs around, the conditions just aren’t playing nice. The water’s sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than what you’d normally expect for this time of year — not a huge deal, but worth noting.
Sunday morning kicks things off with a 4ft north swell, period a short 7 seconds, and a northerly wind howling at 16 mph. The energy’s weak at 154, and the whole thing’s a write-off. It stays poor all day, same Monday, with still 4ft north swell but even shorter period (6-7 seconds) and the wind cranking at 19 mph. No surf worth paddling out for.
Tuesday to Thursday don’t get much better—swell hovers around 3-4ft, still north, still short period, and the wind stays onshore and fresh. The combined energy climbs a bit, hitting 217 on Thursday morning, but it doesn’t help with the quality. Everything’s labelled poor.
Friday the 14th sees a bit more size, 5ft north swell with a touch more period (7-8 seconds), and energy up to 292 in the afternoon, but the wind’s still howling from the NNE at 19 mph onshore. Still poor.
Saturday the 15th pushes to 5ft north swell, with 8-second period and energy over 330, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. It’s just not happening. The rest of the first week into the second week is more of the same—swell around 4-5ft, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor surf quality across the board.
The strongest swell pulse comes on Friday the 21st, with 5ft north swell and 9-second period, energy hitting 361 in the morning. But it’s still blown out by moderate to fresh northerlies. For a reef break that likes northwest swell, the north direction here is just not doing it any favours.
Honestly, this whole 16-day window is a blank run. There’s not a single standout session. If you’re desperate, the morning of Thursday the 20th has 4ft north swell with 9-second period and light northerly wind (9 mph) — that’s your best bet, but it’s still poor quality. Unless you’re into mushy, blown-out waves, I’d sit this one out. It’s the kind of stretch where the coast might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
