The Lowdown
Howdy surfers, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase for Izquierda. It's a tough 16-day stretch with the wind being the main villain. Gotta be honest about it.
Right from the start, August 25th through September 1st, forget about it. We've got wind hammering in from the NNE and N at 12 to 22 mph, straight onshore or cross-onshore. The swell shows up but it's a total mess. The combined wave energy is moderate, reading 419 on the 25th morning, but it's all windslop and chop. Periods are short, between 6 and 11 seconds. Every report is a zero for surf quality. A real bummer.
Things start to get interesting around September 6th. The afternoon shows a shift: a swell from the W with a 14-second period. That's long-period groundswell, proper energy. The combined energy climbs to 361. It's the right direction for the reef, but the wind is still blowing onshore from the N at 15 mph. It'll be there, but bumpy and blown out. A cruel tease for sure.
The best potential of the whole stretch is from September 7th to the 9th. The swell direction holds from the WNW, still with that lovely long 14-second period. The wave energy turns up the volume, hitting moderate to strong levels of 782, 933, and 983. Wave heights sit around 3 to 6 feet. This is the real deal, in terms of sheer energy. But again, the wind lets us down. Onshore from the N and NNE at 12 to 15 mph. That long-period groundswell will have plenty of power, but the wind will put a bumpy, lumpy face on it, especially for a reef break. It's frustrating to watch that energy get chopped up.
There are no absolute winners here. The 8th of September morning might be your best roll of the dice, when the wind is just a "moderate breeze" and onshore, hoping it's a little less fierce. But it's still onshore. This whole window is a miss for clean, organized waves. The size gets up to about 6 feet on the 9th, which is expert territory, but with onshore wind, it's a messy, powerful wall.
Honestly, for kite surfers, this is a goldmine from the 28th of August onward. Those strong onshore winds and building waves are perfect. For us paddle surfers, it's a waiting game.
That's the story from the beach. Keep the stoke, forecasts change. Rusty signing off.

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.
