The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Izquierda is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The whole outlook is flat, windy, and just plain ugly for any sort of decent paddle session. The recommendations are a total blank, so I’m calling it now: there’s no good surf on offer for the entire forecast period.
Looking at the charts, it’s a consistent story of onshore winds and choppy, weak surf. The water’s hanging around about 75° and feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. The energy in the water is weak, barely cracking 100 (96) on Friday the 4th, and it only gets a little more grunty later in the week, but it’s all wind swell with short, crappy periods. The wind is blowing onshore from the north nearly every day, 12 to 18 mph, just trashing any chance of a clean face.
There’s a brief pulse of longer period energy around the 7th to the 8th, with the swell direction shifting to the northwest. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 362 on the 7th, but it’s still paired with those nasty onshore winds. The swell is small too, only 2ft to 3ft. For a reef break that likes a clean NW swell, this is a total tease. It’s the kind of setup that might look interesting for a kite surfer, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go. The conditions are just too poor to even bother.
After that, it’s more of the same right through the second week. A few more pulses of NW swell with longer periods (12-15 seconds) roll in around the 11th, 16th, and 17th, but the energy is moderate at best and the wind refuses to play ball. The onshore flow just won’t quit. Look, I’ve seen it before. This area can go quiet like this. It’s a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can change. For now, I’d give the board a rest and wait for a better window.
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.
