The Lowdown
Alright mate, as I see it for our little spot here, it's a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a complete write-off for any decent surf – just a total blank run. There's no good options on offer at all.
We've got one break to look at, Izquierda, a reef break that's usually consistent and likes the NW swell. The water's running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 75°.
Right from the start, Thursday the 27th of August, the wind is howling from the NNE at 22 mph, and while there's a little 4ft swell (84 combined energy), the conditions are just poor. It just stays like this for days. The swell does build, peaking around Saturday the 29th of August with a solid 6ft of northerly swell with an 11-second period (combined energy jumping to 929), which is actually decent sized, long-period groundswell. But the wind just doesn't let up. It's a constant, fresh onshore or cross-onshore breeze, making everything lumpy and choppy. The wave comment for every slot is "poor surf conditions". It's heartbreaking.
This northerly swell sticks around, but the wind stays on it. Even into the first week of September, we're looking at onshore winds over 19 mph with 5ft to 6ft of swell. That combo is just a mess.
By the second week, the swell drops right off, but the wind problems don't. From the 4th of September onward, we're talking tiny waves – 2ft to 4ft – and still with a cross-onshore or onshore wind. The energy levels drop into the double digits (136 to 75 combined energy) showing the lack of any real push. There's a tiny spike on the 6th of September with a 3ft swell from the NNW at 13 seconds (362 combined energy), but again, it's accompanied by a moderate onshore wind.
Honestly, with the wind and the consistently poor quality, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the entire forecast period. There's no standout day here, none at all. Sometimes an area just runs blank, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.

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.
