The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles. I gotta level with you: over these 16 days, it’s a total bust. One break, Izquierda, and every session from August 16th through the 31st is just poor surf. No standouts, no silver linin’.
Swell runs from 3 ft up to 6 ft, all from the north, with periods mostly between 7 and 8 seconds – that’s short-period windswell that just doesn’t have the grunt. Winds are almost always onshore or cross, blowin’ 9 to 22 mph from the north or north-northeast. That means choppy, bumpy, messy water the whole way. No lulls, no clean windows.
Combined swell energy starts around 147 (moderate) and climbs to 382 by August 24th, but it don’t matter. When you got that much wind messin’ it up, the numbers are just noise. The swell direction is wrong for the reef too – Izquierda wants northwest, not north or north-northeast. Even on the bigger days, like 6 ft on the 24th, it’s just blown-out slop.
The water temp on the 16th is 73°, about average for the season. That’s the only thing that’s normal.
If you’re into kite surfing, this might be your kinda chaos. For the rest of us, it’s a hard pass. A long, poor stretch like this is unusual for such a consistent spot, but it happens. Forecasts can always flip, so don’t lose hope – just don’t hold your breath.
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.
