The Lowdown

Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty grim for paddle surfing. The next sixteen days are basically a write-off at Izquierda, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the swell. We’re seeing constant onshore winds out of the north and northeast, and the swell is mostly short-period junk—6 to 8 seconds—which is just mush, not waves with any push. The energy readings are all over the place, but even when they climb, like Thursday the 6th morning with that 272 reading, the quality just isn’t there. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is about 1°F above the long-term average, so nothing weird there—just normal warm water.

Let’s walk through it. Starting Sunday the 2nd, we’ve got a bit of swell, 2ft at 9 seconds, but the wind’s blowing onshore at 12–19 mph, and the call is poor surf. That sets the tone. Monday and Tuesday are similar—small, short-period swells, 3ft to 3ft, all with onshore winds. The wind stays moderate, but it’s not helping.

Wednesday the 5th kicks up a little more size, 4ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore at 19 mph, and it’s lumpy. Not worth getting wet. Then Thursday the 6th sees the swell jump to 5ft, with energy at 272, but it’s still short-period and onshore—plenty of whitewater chaos, but no clean face to ride. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th hold at 5ft–5ft, periods around 8 seconds, wind still onshore at 16–19 mph. The energy is moderate, but the surf quality remains poor.

We dip a bit on Sunday the 9th—4ft, still onshore—and then the pattern just keeps grinding. The second week looks a bit more of the same: Monday the 10th, 4ft; Tuesday the 11th has some cross-onshore chop; Wednesday the 12th pushes back up to 5ft–5ft with a bit more energy (227–295 readings), but the period stays stuck at 7 seconds. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th hold 5ft–5ft, with onshore winds and fresh breezes. The energy is moderate, 295–323, but the surf quality is still zero.

Saturday the 15th gets messy with cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th round things out with 5ft–6ft at 8 seconds, but again, it’s all onshore and short-period. The total picture? No clean waves, no standouts. This is a tough stretch, and even for the diehards, there’s nothing to chase. With the constant onshore wind and short-period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the board in the car and wait for the forecast to shift—these conditions tend not to stay this poor forever. Rusty out.

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.
