The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. This 16-day window is a tough one for the lineup. The only spot we’re looking at is Izquierda, a consistent reef break, but you’re going to be waiting a long time for anything resembling a decent wave.
The water is sitting at 73°F, which is pretty much standard for the season, so no shocks there.
The whole thing starts with a big dry spell. From 15 August all the way through to 28 August, the forecast is all poor surf conditions. There’s some swell around, but the wind is a constant problem. For the first week and a half, it’s onshore and cross-onshore winds from the N and NNE, blowing anywhere from 9 to 22 mph. The swell is coming from the north, but the energy is only moderate, with values staying between 111 and 273 (moderate wave energy). The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, which means choppy, lumpy, and generally ugly waves. Honestly, with that onshore wind and short-period junk, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle surfer.
Things start to look a bit different on 24 August. The swell picks up to about 6 ft from the north, with a longer period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 510 (strong wave energy), so there’s some real power in the water. But – and it’s a big but – the wind is still cross-on from the NNE at 19 to 22 mph, keeping it lumpy and messy. The conditions are still poor. It’s a promising swell, but it’s completely blown out.
The one glimmer of hope, the only real standout, is Saturday 29 August. The morning brings a glassy wind from the NE at only 3 mph. The swell is weak, only 2 ft from the north, with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 71 (weak). The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s not going to be a classic, but for the first time in two weeks, the wind is light and the water will be clean. It’s a short window as the wind turns cross-on in the afternoon. If you’re feeling the itch, that’s your only chance.
Overall, this is a frustrating outlook. The swell is there, but the wind just won’t let up. If you’re desperate, hit the early morning of 29 August. Otherwise, I’d save the wax and wait for a better pattern.
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.
