The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for Izquierda.
Straight up, this sixteen-day forecast is a tough one. Nothing’s worth paddling out for right now, and it’s gonna stay that way. A big ol' gap of poor conditions stretches from now through the end of the forecast. No real recommendations at all.
Swell’s coming out of the north and north-northeast, which is blowing right onshore here – not the direction we need. Heights run from a tiny 3 ft up to a max of 6 ft on Thursday, 27th August, but it’s all messy. Winds are relentless, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with moderate to fresh breezes. For instance, Tuesday afternoon, 18th August, shows 3 ft of north swell at 8 seconds, but that north-northwest wind at 12 mph is blowing straight onto the face. That pattern just doesn't let up.
Water temp’s about 75°, running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the only silver lining, and it doesn’t help the surf.
The combined wave energy stays weak to moderate, hitting a peak near 508 (strong) on the morning of Sunday, 30th August, when it bumps to 6 ft from the north. Even then, the cross-onshore wind from north-northeast at 16 mph trashes it. It’s all the same story: choppy, lumpy, blown-out conditions. A few swells push to 10 seconds on Sunday, 23rd August, but that groundswell can’t handle the wind direction.
There are no standouts here. For a consistent reef break like Izquierda that likes north-west swell, this is just one of those stretches you have to sit out. Forecasts can change, so don't lose hope, but for now, it's a no-go.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
