The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the outlook for the local scene is a bit of a dud for the first week and a half. We’ve got a real stretch of nothing special on offer. The data shows a long run of "poor surf conditions" at Izquierda, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north-west. From the 4th of September right through to around the 12th, the swell is small, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the north or north-northeast. It’s looking choppy and messy, not worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is weak for most of the early days, with a reading of just 72 on the Friday morning, barely a ripple.

The lone break on the radar is Izquierda. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.

Now, the second week starts to show a bit more life, but it’s still not clean. From the 14th of September onwards, the swell picks up a little, with heights around 3ft to 5ft, and the combined energy climbs into the 200s and 300s, indicating moderate to strong wave energy. But the catch is the wind. It stays stubbornly cross-onshore from the north-east or north-north-east. The wave period is mostly short, between 7 and 9 seconds, meaning weak, close-outy waves. The patch on the 14th has a bit of longer-period swell at 11 seconds from the NNW, but the wind is cross-onshore, messing it up.

The standout, if you can call it that, looks like the tail end of the period. The 17th of September (Thursday) and 18th of September (Friday) see the swell bump up to 5ft from the north, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 323 and 364, so there’s proper power in the water. But the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore. For an intermediate surfer, these days offer the best chance of a wave at Izquierda, but don't expect perfection. The water will be a bit lumpy.

Because of the persistent onshore wind and the beach-reef setup, honestly, this whole stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session. The swell is there, but the quality is just not for us.

This is a long blank run, and it's a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The forecast can shift, so keep an eye on it.

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.
