The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Lookin’ at the long-range for the next couple weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a pretty grim run for the waves. We’re looking at a long stretch where the conditions just aren’t playing ball. There’s a solid gap of low-quality surf and onshore winds parked over us, and honestly, it’s not looking like much of a ride for a while.
The one spot with any real reputation on the show is Izquierda, but even it is struggling. We’re talking about a wave that needs a specific window to truly light up, and we just don’t have that in the charts. For the first few days, it’s all onshore and messy. Thursday the 10th is a write-off with a fresh north breeze and weak energy (102). Friday and into the weekend, the swell bumps up a little – we’re seein’ heights around 5ft to 5ft on the 11th and 12th – but it’s all windblown. It’s going to be blown out with a fresh breeze, makin’ it hard work. The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at around 75°, so you won’t need the thickest suit, but you’ll be workin’ hard for nothin’.
From the 13th onwards, the swell drops right off. Sunday the 13th sees a bit of relief with the wind easin’, but the waves are only 4ft and the energy is fadin’ (243). It’s still a cross-on breeze, so it’s only goin’ to be marginal at best. We roll into the next week with much smaller, cleaner but tiny surf. The 14th and 15th have some longer period energy – around 11 to 13 seconds – comin’ from the NNW, which is a decent direction for this reef, but the size is just pitiful. We’re talkin’ about 2ft to 2ft waves. It might be glassy at times, but there’s just no push. The combined energy is weak (137 to 210), and you’ll be floatin’ around more than surfin’.
There’s a noticeable gap of poor-to-marginal conditions for a solid 10 days or more. The wind keeps flappin’ between onshore and cross-onshore, and the swell just can’t get its act together. There’s a little bump around the 17th and 18th, but it’s back to onshores and short-period, 7 to 8 second windswell – that’s not goin’ to offer anything but a messy paddle.
Near the end of the window, around the 22nd of September, we see a return of some longer-period groundswell, but we’re still too small to get excited about. The energy picks up slightly (304), but it’s barely a ripple.
So, for now, you might want to leave the board in the car. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a pretty flat run for the area, but things always change. Keep an eye on it – it won’t stay poor forever. Hang tight.
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.
