The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but the surf quality is poor across the board for Izquierda. The wind is almost always blowing straight onshore, which is going to make things messy and lumpy. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore wind from the north, so don’t expect any of those clean, glassy moments we all dream about.

Starting Sunday, August 23rd, we’ve got small swell coming in – around 3 ft from the north, but the wind is already onshore at 9 mph. The combined energy is weak at 223, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, but that’s about the only good news. The waves are just poor. This pattern continues through the week. Swell size bumps up a bit Monday and Tuesday, getting to 6 ft and 6 ft, but the wind is stiff and onshore (12-16 mph), so it’s gonna be a choppy, blown-out mess. The energy is moderate (944 on Monday morning), but it doesn’t matter much with that wind.

By Wednesday, August 26th, the swell drops back to under 3 ft, and the wind is still onshore. The combined energy drops to 99 by the afternoon – weak. Thursday, August 27th, is the worst of the bunch. The wind is howling at 19 mph, the swell period is a dismal 5 seconds, and the energy is a pathetic 48. This is barely worth paddling out for.

There is a slight spike in size on Friday, August 28th, with swell hitting 6 ft from the NNE, but again, the wind is onshore at 25 mph. That’s a strong breeze, and it’s going to be a washing machine out there. The energy is moderate (355), but the conditions are just poor.

The weekend of August 30th offers a little more size – 7 ft on Saturday morning – but the wind is cross-onshore at 22 mph, described as "fresh cross-onshore and lumpy." The energy is high (1116), but the quality is just not there for a good paddle. This looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one.

We finally see a change around the second week. On Sunday, September 6th, we get a new swell from the WNW with a very long period of 23 seconds. The swell is small, only 1 ft, but the energy is moderate (360). The wind is onshore, but lighter. Then on Monday, September 7th, we have a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 17 seconds, and the wind is light, though cross-onshore. The energy is moderate (452). This is the closest we get to a promising window, but the swell is tiny and the wind isn’t clean. It’s a long-range look, so it’s promising but not certain.

The only real standout here is that long-period WNW swell on September 7th. It’s a groundswell with a period over 15 seconds, which means it’ll have good shape, but at a beach break like Izquierda, it might break too straight. The size is only 3 ft, so it’s not a big day, but the light wind (6 mph) and long period make it the best option on offer. The water is still warm, but don’t expect perfect conditions.

Honestly, it’s a rough run. The wind is the enemy here. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, the setup is more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.

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.
