The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening on our stretch of coast. Gotta be honest, it’s a rough 16 days ahead.
The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Izquierda, a reef break that needs the swell from the NW. Problem is, the wind is our enemy. It’s gonna be blowing from the north and north-northeast almost non-stop, which is straight onshore or cross-onshore for this place. That means chop, not waves you wanna paddle out into.
We start on Tuesday the 11th of August. There’s a small 4ft swell from the north with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 168. The wind is a moderate breeze straight onshore. Water temp is 74°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual – you’ll feel it’s a bit balmy, but the surf is just poor.
This story doesn’t change much. Wednesday the 12th through the weekend, we’ve got swell from 3ft to 5ft from the north, with periods mostly 5 to 7 seconds – that’s junky windswell. Wind is relentless, 20 to 30 km/h from the NNE or N, all onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy climbs to 300 on Saturday morning, but it’s all messy. Not worth it.
Into the second week, from Monday the 18th, the swell drops to 3ft to 4ft, with periods finally hitting 9 seconds – that’s real groundswell with better shape. But the wind stays stubbornly onshore from the north or NNE. Combined energy sits between 150 and 271 – moderate – but it’s all wasted. There’s a bump around Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd where the swell hits 5ft to 6ft from the north, with energy in the 400s – moderate to strong. But the wind is a fresh breeze onshore, making it a lumpy, blown-out mess. At 6ft with that wind and short 8-second period, that’s expert-only and it won’t be clean. By Wednesday the 26th, it’s fizzling with 3ft to 3ft and weak energy.
So, the hard truth? There’s no day that stands out. With that persistent onshore wind, Izquierda looks more like a kite spot than a paddle spot. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the trades lock in. Don’t get your hopes up, but forecasts can always change.

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.
