The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Izquierda.
Honestly, it’s a quiet start. For the first week or so, the surf is small and the wind is just wrong – blowing straight onshore from the north. We’re looking at a stretch of poor conditions from the 15th through the 19th. There’s a bit of a pulse of swell around the 17th and 18th, with waves around 5ft to 6ft, and the combined energy jumps up to moderate levels (342 to 625), but that persistent north wind is going to trash the shape. For a reef break like this, onshore wind is a killer. Not worth your time.
The 20th sees the swell drop right back, though there is a sneaky little long-period pulse from the NNW (14 seconds) on the 20th morning, but still with that onshore wind. The energy is moderate (412), but the conditions aren’t.
We finally get a small window of interest on the morning of Thursday, September 24th. The wind swings around to a light SSE, giving us a cross-offshore breeze. The swell is a clean 3ft from the NW with a nice long 13-second period. That’s good, clean groundswell energy (376) for a reef. This is the standout session of the whole forecast – the only time the wind plays ball. The water temp is a normal 74°F for this time of year. Get on it early.
After that, it’s back to onshore northerlies and small, weak surf. The 29th and 30th have a bit more size (3ft to 4ft) and moderate energy, but the wind swings onshore again, so it’s just more of the same story.
So, to sum it up: one clear, clean morning on the 24th is your best bet. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly blown out or flat. The wind is the villain here, and it doesn’t let up.
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.
