The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty.
Alright, looking at the next 16 days for the region around Izquierda, and truth be told, it’s a bit of a flat, grim run for a good chunk of it. The pattern is stubborn – persistent onshore winds and a swell that’s just not cooperating for quality. We’ve got a long stretch where the conditions are pretty poor, so patience is going to be the name of the game.
Starting from now, Monday the 31st of August, we’re already battling. Clean skies but a stiff onshore wind out of the NNE at 16 mph is smashing up the 4 ft swell from the north, with a short, weak 8-second period. The combined energy is only moderate at 232, and it’s just messy. This ugly run continues right through to Monday the 7th of September. For over a week, the wind is hammering from the north, the swell is small and junky, and the “poor surf conditions” tag is spot on. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, with a positive anomaly of 3°, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Now, there is a little glimmer of something different, but it’s not good news. On Monday the 7th of September, the swell drops to 3 ft from the NNW, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s a long period groundswell. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 317, but the onshore wind is still ruining it. The longer period might mean more shape in the wave, but with the wind, it’s just a tease.
The only day that even comes close to being worth a look is Tuesday the 15th of September, about two weeks out. The morning shows a light, nearly glassy wind from the north at 3 mph, which is a huge positive for clean conditions. We’ve got a 4 ft northerly swell with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 255. The forecast says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s a gamble. For the die-hards, that Tuesday morning is the best and really the only window to have a crack. The afternoon, unfortunately, swings back to a moderate cross-onshore breeze, trashing it.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, there are no true standouts. The wind just won't get out of the north, and the swell direction is all wrong for Izquierda – it’s a reef that likes the NW, but we’re getting constant N and NNE swells. It’s a tough run. Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 15th, first light, but don’t hold your breath.
Stay patient,
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.
