The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here.

Right off the bat, it’s a whole lot of “no” around here. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for stand-out surf. I’m looking at every row from now through to the 13th of August, and it’s all “poor surf conditions.” There are no good options for a paddle, mate. Let’s walk through what’s on offer so you know what we’re dealing with.

We start with the only break in the file: Izquierda. It’s a consistent reef break, exposed to swell, but the wind is the killer. From the get-go on Wednesday the 29th of July, we’ve got a fresh NNE breeze – 19 mph – blowing cross-on or directly onshore, making everything lumpy and choppy. Swell is small, around 3 ft to 4 ft, coming from the north with short periods around 5 to 7 seconds. The water temp is 73°F which is a touch warmer than normal, about 2°F above average for this time of year.

This pattern doesn’t let up. A few days in, on Saturday the 1st of August, the wind does lighten up to a gentle breeze from the NW at 9 mph, but it’s still cross-on. The swell drops to 2 ft in the afternoon with a longer period of 10 seconds from the NW. That’s a better look, but the energy reading is only moderate (184), and the wind is never truly offshore or glassy. It’s still not clean enough to call a standout.

As we push into the second week, the swell actually builds. By the 7th of August, we’re seeing 6 ft to 7 ft from the N and NNE, with periods hitting 8 seconds. The wave energy readings get strong, hitting 402 on Friday the 7th and up to 574 on Sunday the 9th. That’s a lot of grunt in the water. But here’s the catch – the wind is relentless. It stays onshore from the north or NNE at 16 to 19 mph the whole way through. There is no let-up. For a reef break, onshore wind at that strength will ruin any chance of a decent wave face.

So, there it is. The biggest wave energy kicks in around the 9th of August, with 7 ft of north-northeast swell and an energy of 574, but with that persistent onshore wind, it’s just going to be a messy, blown-out ocean. Not one for the surfboard. This stretch is a long dry spell with no green lights at all. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother paddling out.

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.
