The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Izquierda over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I’m lookin’ at the whole 16-day window and it’s a tough one. There’s no stand-out day where everything clicks. The swell direction is mostly out of the north or north-northeast, which is your optimum here, but it’s coming in with a lot of wind and short, weak period. The combined energy (147) is weak to moderate at best early on, and the wind is just hammerin’ it onshore or cross-onshore most days. It’s lookin’ pretty average, to be blunt.
From Sunday August 2nd right through to Monday August 17th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” and a score of zero. There’s no real gap with no surf, but the quality is just not there. You’ll see waist to chest high swell, 2 ft to 5 ft, but with period mostly between 5 and 10 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, not groundswell. It’ll be bumpy and weak, especially with that 12-18 mph north breeze blowin’ straight onto it. For the first week, it’s a moderate breeze onshore, making things choppy. You’d be better off on a kite than a paddle board most days.
Later on, around Thursday August 14th and into the weekend, the swell bumps up a bit to 5 ft from the north, and the combined energy climbs into the 200s (moderate). But the period stays short at 7-8 seconds, and wind is still onshore or cross-onshore with a fresh breeze (18 mph). That’s not gonna be clean. It’s too lumpy and fat for a good time on a reef like this. For a reef break, you want that period longer and the wind off, but that’s not what’s on the menu.
Don’t even think about paddling out if you’re a beginner – it’s not the size so much, just the messy conditions. And by Sunday August 16th, the swell holds around 5 ft but the wind finally drops a little to 12-15 mph. Still, it’s not glassy offshore, so it’s just more of the same average stuff.
All through this, the water temp is about average for this time of year – nothin’ to write home about.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout session here. I can’t point to one day and say “that’s the one.” The entire 16-day run is poor quality surf with onshore wind and weak short-period swell. It’s a blank run for the area, honestly. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change.
Stay salty.
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.
