The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a rough stretch for Izquierda. Every single entry in the forecast says "poor surf conditions," and that’s a tough pill to swallow. The first real recommendation doesn’t even show up until the 26th, and even then, it’s a struggle. The core problem is that we’ve got a constant, solid onshore wind from the North and NNE, which is just ruining any chance of clean waves. The wind is a stiff 12 to 22 mph on most days, which is just too much for this exposed reef.

Let’s break it down. Wednesday, August 26th, we see a 3 ft swell from the north at 8 seconds, but with a 12 mph onshore wind, it’s a write-off. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, but that’s small comfort. The combined energy is weak at 112, so there’s just no push.

Thursday the 27th is more of the same, with a pathetic 2 ft swell and gusty winds. Friday the 28th sees the swell bump up to 5 ft, but it’s still a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. The energy jumps to 200, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is howling at 22 mph.

The weekend of the 29th and 30th offers the biggest swell of the whole period, hitting 6 ft on Saturday morning with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a decent amount of water, and the energy value of 929 is moderate to strong. But the wind is still a strong 19 mph cross-onshore, making it a choppy, closed-out nightmare. This is the only time the swell gets over 5 ft, which would be too big for beginners, but with the wind, it’s only for the most hardcore or those who want to try kite surfing.

The first week of September is a depressing repeat. Onshore winds, small, short-period swell (mostly 5-8 seconds), and energy values staying in the 100-300 range. September 3rd is the first day we see a lighter wind, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell is only 4 ft. The 4th and 5th offer a bit of a reprieve with lighter winds, but the swell drops to 4 ft and 3 ft, and it’s still cross-onshore, so it’s just small and choppy.

The second week gets even smaller. The swell barely breaks 3 ft, and the energy dips into the double digits. September 7th has a pulse of 2 ft swell with a long period of 11 seconds, but that’s a groundswell that will break too straight on this reef, and it’s still tiny. From the 8th onward, we’re looking at 1 ft to 2 ft swell with weak energy. It’s a total blank run.

To be honest, there’s no standout day here. The closest thing to a "best" option is the Saturday morning of August 29th, with that 6 ft, 11-second swell, but the wind ruins it. It’s a lesson in how important wind is. Normally, this spot loves a NW swell, but it doesn’t matter if the wind is howling onshore.

So, ride it out. This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long. But as it stands, I’d keep the board in the car and save the energy for a better day.

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.
