The Lowdown

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

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a grind. We’ve got a consistent run of swell coming in from the north, but the wind is just not playing ball. It’s onshore or cross-onshore just about every day, which is a proper bummer for a place like Izquierda. This reef needs that clean, offshore breeze to shine, and we just aren’t getting it. The water temp is sitting around 73°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.

The swell energy is there, ramping up from moderate (129) early on, to strong (362) by Friday the 8th, and even hitting a peak of 788 on the 15th of August. But the problem is, every time the swell gets decent, the wind is ruining it. The wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions,” which tells you everything you need to know.

There’s a long stretch here with no real standout. The period on the swell is short, mostly 6-8 seconds, so it’s windswell, not that clean, ground-swell energy we’d be hoping for. It’s just going to be messy and lumpy out there. The best you could hope for is a sneaky session on the 18th, when the period finally stretches to 9 seconds and the morning wind drops to 12 mph from the north, but it’s still onshore. That’s the best of a bad bunch.

Look, I can’t recommend a single standout session here. There’s no point pretending otherwise. The setup is just wrong for paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, this onshore wind and building swell might look interesting, but for a surfboard, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
