The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Izquierda.

Right now, there’s nothing happening for the first few days, as we head through the 12th to the 14th, the surf is all marked as poor, so we’re looking at a quiet start through the mid-week. The first day with anything that might get you out is around the 15th, but it’s still not good, so you’re looking at a gap of roughly 3 days with no real recommendations.

From the morning of the 15th, the swell pushes up a bit, with a consistent 5 ft from the north, but the wind is a cross-onshore and it’s lumpy. That trend of poor conditions sticks around day after day even as the swell bumps up. It’s all onshore or cross-onshore wind, mostly from the north, and the wave state is often described as poor or choppy. You won’t find clean faces here.

The swell energy climbs into the moderate range, hitting three-digit values like 277 on the morning of the 15th, but it doesn’t matter with the wind. The period stays short, between 5 and 9 seconds most days, so these are short-period, wind-affected waves, not the kind of groundswell that would make this reef stand up.

There’s a small rise on the 21st with 5 ft from the north, and the energy climbs to 399, but again, the wind is onshore at 16 mph. The only glimmer is that from the 22nd to the 23rd, the period stretches to 10 seconds and the swell holds at 5 ft, but the wind still has its claws in it. It’s a consistent reef, but you need calm air.

Despite all that, the standing best option here – if you’re really jonesing – is actually the window from the 22nd of August into the 23rd. Late Sunday morning, the swell is 5 ft from the north, period at 10 seconds, and the energy is 452, which is moderate. The wind is onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but the swell is the biggest and most consistent of the fortnight, and that longer period will bring some shape. It’s still only for surfers who don’t mind a bit of chop, and because it’s consistent, you won't be alone.

After that, a similar-sized 5 ft to 6 ft swell hangs around through the 26th and 27th, but the wind is still cranking. Without a break in the wind, there’s just no standout session in this 16-day window.

Stay patient, and check back later. The reef is there, but the weather isn’t playing ball at the moment.

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.
