The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for this stretch of coast.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next 16 days look like a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’re looking at a long, bleak stretch with nothing but onshore winds and crummy conditions. The only wave on the menu is Izquierda, a reef break that’s exposed to the north-west, but the wind just won’t play ball.
The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort.
From Thursday the 6th of August, right through to Wednesday the 19th of August, it’s the same grim story. We’re seeing a persistent moderate to fresh breeze from the north and north-northeast, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore. The swell is mostly small, around 3 ft to 5 ft from the north, with a short, weak period of 6 to 9 seconds. The combined wave energy sits between 117 and 333 – that’s moderate at best, but it’s all junk. The wave comment on every single entry is “poor surf conditions” and the scores are all zeros. This isn’t a surf forecast; it’s a wind forecast.
There’s a slight uptick around the 20th and 21st of August, with the swell picking up to 5 ft from the north, and the period stretching to 8 seconds. The wind finally looks like it might ease off a little, with a light breeze out of the north-northwest on the morning of Friday the 21st. But even then, the model is still calling it “poor surf conditions.” Honestly, with that much onshore wind and a beach/reef setup, this looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
There are no standouts here. Nothing to get excited about. Sometimes you get a blank run, and this is one of those times. The forecast can always change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car and find something else to do.
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.
