The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I've got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Izquierda. This is a consistent reef that usually knows how to handle a swell, but for the next 16 days, the conditions are just not cooperating. The wind is the main culprit, blowing strong and onshore from the north for the vast majority of the forecast. We’re looking at a solid 10-day block of poor surf right from the start, with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is there, but it’s short-period, choppy windswell, and the wind is just tearing it apart. Even when the combined energy climbs to moderate levels, the wind keeps it messy. It’s a real tough run.

The first glimmer of something different comes on Monday, August 5th, but it’s still a bust. The swell bumps up a bit, with a 5ft, 7-second swell from the north, pushing the combined energy to moderate, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy. Not the one.

The middle of the second week, around August 10th and 11th, actually sees the swell size climb. On Monday, August 10th, we’ve got a 6ft north swell with a 7-second period, and the energy is solid at moderate. But again, it’s hammered by a fresh onshore breeze. By Tuesday, August 11th, the swell gets even bigger at 6ft from the north-northeast, with energy jumping to moderate-to-strong. The period is still a short 7 seconds, so it’s all wind-driven bump. The morning is cross-onshore and lumpy, the afternoon is onshore. It’s a bit of a tease – decent size, but the quality is just not there.

The best we get on paper is Wednesday, August 12th, at the very end of the run. The swell peaks at 7ft from the north-northeast, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of strong. The wind is onshore, but at least it’s just onshore, not cross-onshore. For a reef break, that’s still not clean, and that size is pushing into expert-only territory where you need to be on your game. It’s the biggest swell of the window, but the wind is a dealbreaker.

So, what’s the call? There are no standouts. No hidden gems. The entire 16-day window is a write-off. The wind is relentless, the swell is short-period junk, and the combination just doesn’t work for Izquierda. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the one to watch is the very end – Wednesday, August 12th – but don’t hold your breath. It’s promising in size but not in quality. Otherwise, you’re better off waiting for the next system to shift that wind. Keep your eye on the charts, things can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell for quality.

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.
