Table - best surf conditions forecast for Izquierda over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up – looking at the next couple of weeks, it's a rough stretch for surf. We've got a lot of wind and messy conditions on the cards, so don't be expecting any magic.
First up, we've got a blank period. From now, right through until Sunday the 12th, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is either tiny or blown out. It's a quiet start.
Then, from Sunday the 12th onwards, we start to see some size building, but the wind is a persistent problem. For the entire outlook, the wind is hammering from the north, northeast, or north-northeast, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. That's gonna keep things choppy and grovelly at best.
Looking at the standout, the only real highlight here is a punchy run of swell that builds through the third week. By Friday the 18th, we're seeing some proper energy. On the morning of Saturday the 19th, swell hits 6.2 ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a moderate combined energy of 574, so there's some grunt in the water. But here's the kicker – the wind is still a fresh onshore breeze from the north-northeast at 22 mph. That's going to turn what could be a good wave into a lumpy mess. It's not going to be clean, but for the experienced crew who can handle a bit of chop, there'll be some push.
The swell continues to pulse into Monday the 20th, with 5.9 ft from the north and a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 637. Again, the wind is onshore from the north-northeast at 19 mph. It's a case of "right place, wrong wind."
For the absolute best on offer, I'd have to point to Saturday the 18th afternoon. The swell is up to 5.6 ft from the north, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 385. It's still onshore, but the size is there for a proper session at Izquierda, which is a consistent reef break with an intermediate level. It's a spot that's exposed to the northwest, and while the swell is coming from the north, it's close enough to get in. Just be aware that crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Overall, it's a frustrating outlook. The swell is there in the second week, but the wind is a spoiler. It's not looking like a surfer's paradise, but if you're an expert with a high tolerance for onshore conditions, you can find some grunt. If you're after clean, glassy waves, this isn't it. The water temp is sitting at 71.4°, which is pretty average for this time of year – no surprises there.
Stay salty.

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.
