The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for our region over the next sixteen days.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for surf. We’ve got one known spot, Izquierda, a consistent reef break that handles a NW swell best. It's exposed and takes on the north swells we're seeing. The problem is the wind. For the whole first week, it’s howling out of the north and northeast, mostly onshore or cross-onshore at 18 mph down to 9 mph. That’s gonna tear any swell apart and leave it lumpy and choppy. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but don't expect any clean waves to enjoy it in.
We’ve got a big dry spell here. Nothing rideable until the morning of Monday the 14th. Before that, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with combined wave energy from 102 up to 358 (moderate) but totally ruined by that north wind. The swell direction is mostly from the north with a short period around 6 to 8 seconds – not much power there.
Now, Monday the 14th of September morning is the absolute standout window. It’s not big, with a clean NNW swell of 2 ft and a very long period of 13 seconds. The key here is glassy conditions – a 3 mph WNW wind will clean it right up. The combined wave energy is 217 (moderate). At this size, it’s perfect for all abilities. That long period will make the waves at this reef hold up nicely and offer some fun shape. But don’t expect it to last – by afternoon the wind swings onshore and it’s all over.
Through the rest of the second week, the wind stays stubborn out of the north, keeping the quality poor. We see some bigger pulses of north swell, but with that onshore wind, it’s a write-off. There is a pulse on the 22nd and 23rd with a very long period NNW swell (13-14 seconds) and high wave energy (489-559). That’s strong energy for sure, but with onshore north winds at 15 mph, it’ll be a messy, blown-out wall. Too much chop, not enough reward. It's a real shame.
There is no other standout, just day after day of onshore conditions. If you’re keen for a paddle, Monday the 14th morning at Izquierda is your only real chance. Otherwise, with that consistent north wind and consistent swell, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one for most of this run.
Alright, stay patient. It tends not to stay poor forever, but this stretch is a test of character.
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.
