The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here.
To be honest with you, looking up the coast, it’s going to be a real rough stretch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window on the cards, but there’s absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. Every single day is marked as poor surf conditions. It’s a total blank run, and for an exposed reef like Izquierda, that’s a tough pill to swallow. The onshore winds are relentless – it’s basically constant onshore or cross-onshore flow, gusting from the north-northeast and north. It’s going to be a grind.
Starting this Sunday morning, 23rd August, we’ve got a small 3 ft swell from the N with a moderate combined energy (223), but the wind is howling onshore at 9 mph. That combo just kills any hope. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell builds a bit on Monday, 24th August, hitting 6 ft from the NNW with a period of 12 seconds, kicking the energy up to moderate (944), but the wind is nasty from the NNE at 12-16 mph. It stays messy all the way through.
Tuesday the 26th drops back down to 3 ft from the N, period of 8 seconds (energy 142), but the wind doesn’t let up. The big event looks like Saturday, 29th August, when we get a strong pulse of 8 ft swell from the N with an 11-second period – that’s a strong energy reading at 1319. But here’s the catch: the wind swings cross-onshore again from the NNE at 22 mph, and the condition notes say “fresh cross-onshore and lumpy.” That kind of size with that wind is a complete mess; it’ll be a washing machine. Even the afternoon cleans up to onshore, not offshore, so it’s still no good.
The rest of the week and into early September is the same story – wave heights hovering between 3 ft and 5 ft, but always with a moderate to fresh breeze hammering it. The period stays short, between 4 and 11 seconds, which means weak, disorganized lines. Combined energy never gets into the strong zone again after that Saturday. By the time we hit Sunday, 6th September, the swell fades to 3 ft with barely any energy (74). It’s a grim outlook. This is an exposed reef, it needs clean conditions, and we aren’t getting any. Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing for the next two weeks.
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.
