The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Well, I’ve got to be straight with you—this outlook for Izquierda is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper surf. There’s not a single recommendation to get excited about, and every entry in the forecast has “poor surf conditions” stamped all over it. That’s a long, frustrating stretch of flat and messy waves.

Let’s break it down. From now, starting Friday 4th September right through to Saturday 19th September, it’s essentially a blank run. That’s over two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is weak and short-period, mostly from the north, with heights bobbing between 2 ft and 5 ft. The combined energy is low to moderate at best—starts at just 79 (low energy) on Friday morning, and only climbs into the 100–400 range on some days, but it’s never backed by decent quality. Periods are mostly 5 to 8 seconds, which is just windslop, not groundswell. There’s a brief pulse on Monday 7th September with a 12-second period and 399 energy, but it’s still labelled “poor surf conditions” because the wind is howling onshore from the NNE at 25 km/h, ruining any chance of a clean wave.

The wind is the real killer here. It’s blowing onshore from the north or north-northeast for the entire forecast, often a moderate to fresh breeze (12–19 mph), and on some days it’s cross-onshore, making the surface lumpy and choppy. Izquierda is a reef break that’s consistent and exposed, but it needs offshore wind from the south to clean up—and we’re getting the complete opposite. The optimum swell direction here is NW, but the swell is mostly from the north, so it’s not even hitting the break at its best angle.

Water temperature is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s no surf to enjoy.

Honestly, this is a case where the area just goes quiet. Izquierda doesn’t usually stay this poor for this long, but when it does, it’s a reminder that forecasts can change. For now, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent onshore wind and small, choppy waves. Don’t hold your breath—check back in a week or so.

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.
