The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be brutally honest, the next 16 days are a tough watch for Izquierda. There’s a lot of wind and the surf just isn’t lining up. The whole period is a blank run of poor conditions, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you’ll be waiting a while.
The first chance for anything happens on the morning of Tuesday, 5th August, but it’s not a recommendation. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the NNE, with a short period of 7 seconds, and a moderate breeze is blowing cross-on, wrecking the surface. The combined energy is moderate (193). It’s just not worth paddling out.
This pattern basically holds. The wind is a constant problem—mostly fresh breezes from the N or NNE, often cross-on or straight onshore. The swell sizes hover between 3 ft and 6 ft, but the periods are short, mostly 6-8 seconds, meaning weak, bumpy, and unorganised waves. The water temp is about 73°F, which is a degree warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable to sit out there waiting for nothing.
The only real standout—if you can call it that—is the morning of Saturday, 8th August. The swell builds to 6 ft from the N with an 8-second period, giving a combined energy of 515 (solid moderate energy). But the wind is a fresh breeze straight onshore, so it’ll be a messy, blown-out wall of water. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not clean. The reef at Izquierda might handle it, but with that wind, forget about a good wave.
After that, it fades back into the same pattern of poor surf and strong winds. There’s a slight drop in wind on the 17th and 18th of August, with a gentle breeze on the morning of Tuesday the 18th, and a 4 ft N swell with a longer 10-second period. The combined energy is 241 (moderate). But the swell direction is N, not the optimum NW, and the wind is still onshore. It’s promising, but not enough to get excited about.
So, bottom line: no good surf options in this 16-day window. The area is having a classic flat spell with persistent onshore winds. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off doing something else.
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.
