The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, now in feet.
Like I said, it’s a tough slog. Izquierda is our only option, a consistent reef that likes wind from the NW. But the forecast is all onshore breeze and chop.
From Friday the 14th onward, we’re looking at a moderate NNE wind most days, blowing onshore or cross-onshore. Saturday the 16th morning is a little lighter at 15 km/h, but swell is barely 3ft with only 7 seconds between waves – not much push.
Even when the swell bumps up to around 4ft on Monday the 17th, the onshore wind messes it up. Same story through Wednesday the 20th – combined energy is moderate (between 110 and 236), but it’s a waste with the chop.
The only real size shows up on Tuesday the 25th, with swell hitting 7ft to 7ft. That’s beyond beginner territory. Combined energy hits 489–604, which is strong. But again, that NNE wind is cross-onshore, leaving it lumpy. Wednesday the 26th keeps similar swell at around 6ft, with a bit more period at 9 seconds, but still cross-onshore.
Water temp is about average. Crowds at Izquierda can be there sometimes, but with these conditions, it won’t be packed.
No standout sessions. Better setup for kite surfing than paddling. Hold tight.
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.
