The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I’m looking at the charts and it’s a tough run ahead. For the entire 16-day outlook, there’s nothing but “poor surf conditions” on the cards for Izquierda. The setup here is a consistent reef break, intermediate-level, exposed to the NW, with the optimum swell direction from the NW. But the reading couldn't be more painful.
Right from Sunday, August 23rd, the afternoon session is a write-off. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NNW at 14 seconds, which is a decent long-period groundswell, but it’s shithoused by a 9 mph cross-onshore from the NNW. The wind chop is just ruining it. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°F, about 3°F above the average, so at least you won't freeze while you're getting worked.
Moving into the next week, it just gets worse. Monday, August 24th, through to Wednesday, August 27th, sees swell heights bouncing between 6ft and dropping to a pathetic 1ft, but the wind is relentless, blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE at 16 to 19 mph. The swell periods drop from 12 seconds down to a junky 4 seconds. The energy numbers fall off a cliff. It’s a total dud.
By Friday, August 28th, the wind picks up to a strong 25 mph, making it a complete mess. Then we hit Saturday, August 29th. This is the biggest swell of the window—7ft from the N with a 13-second period. The energy is pounding. But don’t get excited. The wind is still a fresh cross-onshore from the NNE at 22 mph. For an exposed reef, that’s just dangerous, lumpy, and ugly. That size and wind is only for the experts, and even they won’t be having fun.
The whole first week and into the second week is the same story. From Sunday, August 30th, right through to Monday, September 7th, the swell hangs around 4ft to 7ft, with the period sticking mostly to 8 or 9 seconds. The wind shifts a little to the NNW and NW, but it’s always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing 9 to 22 mph. There is a rare moment on Monday, September 7th, with a 3ft swell from the WNW at a very long 14 seconds, but the onshore wind kills it. Long-period swells like that want a point break or reef to wrap around, not to be smacked by an onshore breeze.
The bottom line: there is no session worth paddling out for in this entire forecast. With the wind locked in from the north, this exposed beach setup is looking far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—just raw power and onshore slop. It’s a total blank run.

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.
