The Lowdown

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

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, quiet gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The first decent chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Tuesday, the 25th of August, and even then, it’s not what we’d call good. We’re talking a solid 16 days of poor surf conditions all the way through. There’s a consistent north-northeast wind blowing pretty much the whole time, and the swell just isn’t cooperating with the break.

For the first half of this run, the water’s sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the temp is okay if you’re just floating around. But the waves? Not much to write home about.

Let’s walk through it day by day. On Tuesday the 25th, we get a northwest swell at 5ft with a 10-second period (moderate wave energy at 383), but that north wind is howling onshore at 16 mph. It’s messy. Wednesday the 26th is even smaller – 3ft dropping to 3ft, short period swell of 8 seconds, and still that onshore wind. Thursday the 27th is tiny, with a 2ft swell in the morning and a 4ft in the afternoon, but the period drops to 5 seconds (very weak energy at 66) and the wind is a fresh breeze – just a total write-off.

Friday the 28th picks up a bit, with a 5ft to 6ft northerly swell, but the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s lumpy and weak. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 22 mph, making it choppy and ugly.

Saturday the 29th sees the biggest swell of the entire forecast: 6ft from the north with an 11-second period (strong wave energy at 802). That’s the standout bump in size, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph. The quality is still rated poor – those northerly swells don’t match the break’s optimum direction from the northwest, and the onshore wind just ruins it.

From Sunday the 30th all the way through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s more of the same: northerly swells between 3ft and 6ft, periods mostly 7 to 10 seconds, and winds that are either onshore or cross-onshore at 9 to 22 mph. The wave energy bounces around from weak (118) to moderate (418), but the conditions are consistently poor. A few days, like the 4th and 5th of September, see a little drop in wind speed to a gentle breeze, but the swell is small and still onshore.

There is one day that catches the eye: Saturday the 5th of September has a 3ft north swell with an 8-second period and a light onshore breeze at 9 to 12 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets in this window, but the swell is tiny. And then Monday the 7th of September shows a northerly swell at 3ft to 3ft with a longer 10-second period (moderate energy at 340 to 418) and lighter north winds. Still, the direction is wrong for the break, and the size is marginal at best.

Honestly, with the consistent onshore north wind and the swell being a poor fit for the break, this setup looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re desperate for a float, maybe the 7th of September afternoon is your best bet – but don’t expect much.

Stay patient, the ocean will come around eventually. This is 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.
