The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the only show in town for this stretch.

Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’ve got one break on the radar, and it’s a straight-up reef setup called Izquierda. It’s an exposed spot that works best when the swell is coming from the northwest. The water is sitting at 74°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch of extra warmth in the water.

Now, the bad news first. The entire 16-day window is a bit of a bust. From Friday 14 August all the way through to Saturday 29 August, every single forecast entry is telling us the same thing: poor surf conditions. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, no session to get excited about. The wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the north or northeast, and it’s blowing fresh to moderate, which is just ruining what little swell we’ve got. The swell heights bounce around between 2ft and 6ft, but the periods are short – mostly 6 to 9 seconds – so there’s no real power or shape behind it. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 219 (weak) on Friday 14 August, and only climbing into the 300s and 400s late in the second week, which is still only moderate energy. The swell direction is mostly north, not the northwest optimum, so the setup isn’t really getting what it wants.

There is a slight blip on Saturday 29 August morning when the swell swings to the west-northwest with a long period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy hits 305 (moderate). But the wind is still cross-onshore, choppy, and the swell height is only 2ft. So it’s not going to deliver.

For a break that’s consistent and exposed, to have every single time slot showing poor surf is a real downer. This isn’t a place that stays flat, so it’s a pretty unusual dry spell. If you’re desperate to get wet, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent onshore wind and building swell. But for a wave on a reef? Not this week, or the next.

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.
