The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast but in imperial units for you mainlanders.
Looking at Izquierda, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The first week is dominated by onshore winds from the north and north-northeast, and that’s going to keep the waves a mess. We’ve got some small to moderate swell coming through, but the wind is just too strong and onshore to make it worth it. The combined energy of all swells is moderate, ranging from about 109 to 523 (moderate to strong), but the surface is going to be all chopped up. The water temperature is around 75°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
There’s no standout day in the first week. From Saturday the 5th through to Sunday the 13th, the forecast is all poor surf conditions. The swell heights are between 2 ft and 5 ft, with periods from 6 seconds to 13 seconds, but the wind is onshore and strong. It’s not a good time to paddle out.
The best I can see in the whole 16-day window is a couple of small windows. On Sunday the 13th in the morning, we get a light breeze, a cross-on wind, but it’s still light enough to keep the surface okay. The swell is 4 ft from the north with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 231 (moderate). It’s a marginal call, but it’s the nearest we get to a decent wave. Then on Tuesday the 15th in the morning, the wind turns light and cross-shore, with a similar 4 ft north swell. That’s another small window. Both are for the patient surfer, not a full-on standout.
The swell picks up around the 17th and 18th of September, with heights hitting 6 ft and combined energy climbing to 523 (strong). But the wind is still onshore or moderate, so it’s going to be a blown-out mess. For the experienced crew, it might look more interesting for a kite session than a paddle, given the wind and the beach-and-reef setup.
After that, the swell fades out after the 19th, with small waves and poor conditions. So, overall, it’s a lean run. If you’re keen, the 13th and 15th mornings are your best bet, but the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long. 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.

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.
