The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, but I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The forecast is all onshore, and the surf quality is just not there. We’re looking at a solid 16-day block where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The only break on the radar is Izquierda, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the swell. Right now, through the first week and into the second, it’s a non-stop northerly wind regime. We’re talking moderate to fresh breezes, blowing straight onshore. The swell does show some pulses – later on Saturday the 29th of August, we get a spike of 7ft from the north with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy kicks up to 1345 (strong wave energy). But that’s all wasted. That north-northeast wind is just going to destroy the shape. For a reef like Izquierda, that’s a dealbreaker.
There’s a real gap here – no quality surf at all. You’d be better off leaving the board in the car. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only positive note. The wind is just relentless. Because the break is exposed and the swell is mixed with strong onshore wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
Even the longer-period swell that shows up around Sunday the 6th of September – 4ft from the NNW with a 13-second period – is still under that nasty north-northeast breeze. It’s a shame, because a 13-second groundswell on a reef could be something special if the wind cooperated. But it doesn’t.
So, the bottom line: there are no standouts. Zero. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. Sometimes you get runs like this, and it’s just a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don't bother.
Stay dry,
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.
