The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Looking at the next couple of weeks… to be straight up with you, it’s a tough run. The waves will be there, but the wind is gonna be a pest. Mostly we’ve got a fresh NNE breeze blowing straight onshore, which is turning what could be decent swell into choppy, lumpy mess. It’s not going to be pretty for quite a while.
Izquierda is the only game in town, and it’s a consistent reef break that loves swell from the NW. That’s our optimum direction, but the swell we’ve got coming is from the NNE and N, so it’s not hitting the spot. For Saturday the 18th through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at waist-to-chest high waves around 4ft to 5ft, but with that 19 mph NNE wind straight on it, the surface is going to be blown out. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 73°F, which is nice for your toes, but the wave energy is only moderate (116–304), and period is short—mostly 6 to 8 seconds. It’s not doing us any favours.
The second week doesn’t bring much relief. From around Monday the 28th, the wind finally backs off a little to a gentle breeze, but it swings to a cross-onshore from the NNW and NW. The swell builds a bit, hitting 6ft to 8ft from the N and NNE, and the combined energy jumps up to strong territory (344–863). The period stretches to 9 seconds late in the week, so there’s more push, but the wind’s still wrong. The 28th and 29th are the closest we get to something rideable—maybe a few lumpy, cross-onshore sets, but it’s still marginal at best. The 8ft swell on the 27th and 28th is getting into expert-only size, especially with that messy wind, and honestly, a beach-and-reef setup like this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
The standout? If you’re desperate, Tuesday the 28th morning is the pick of a bad bunch. Swell is 7ft from the NNE, period 9 seconds, with a gentle cross-onshore breeze. It’s not clean, but it’s the least ugly of the lot. Crowds are possible at Izquierda, but with conditions this average, you might have it to yourself.
There’s a gap of several days in the first week where the score is zero—just straight onshore slop. After that, the second week offers some slight hope but nothing to write home about. It’s a quiet spell.
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.
