The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with you—this run is looking pretty grim for any kind of proper surf session. The whole sixteen-day window is a write-off at Izquierda. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with no standout days at all.
Starting right from August 26th, the wind is howling onshore from the north at 16 mph, with a weak 3 ft swell from the north and a short 8-second period. The water’s got that moderate breeze on it, and the waves are just messy. That kind of setup repeats itself day after day.
Through the end of August and into the first week of September, the swell does bump up a bit—gets to around 6 ft from the north on the 29th, with a moderate wave energy (903). But the wind is still all wrong, cross-onshore or onshore, and the period is short. It’s all “poor surf conditions.” Not a single recommendation pops up.
Even when the swell gets a little longer period around September 9th—3 ft from the NNW with a 10-second period and a light breeze—the magic just isn’t there. The energy is moderate (230), but the wind is cross-onshore, and the surf quality is still poor.
So what’s the takeaway? There’s a solid two-week gap here with zero surf worth paddling out for. The consistent onshore northerly winds are just killing the wave quality. If you’re desperate for a session, you’d be fighting lumps and chop. Honestly, for September 1st onwards, the size and wind at this beach-and-reef setup might make it more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.
Keep your stick in the shed for now. Forecasts can change, but this one’s looking bleak.
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.
