The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Izquierda.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch for the reef. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but there’s really nothing in the first few days that’s worth paddling out for. The surf is small, the wind is howling onshore out of the north, and the conditions are just plain poor. You’re lookin’ at a gap of zero options from Saturday the 22nd right through to Sunday the 30th of August. That’s a long, dusty spell.
Now, there is a faint glimmer of something on Monday the 24th of August morning. Swell jumps up a bit to 6ft out of the NNW, and the combined wave energy hits (1111). That’s a decent pulse of energy, but the 12-second period suggests it’s a groundswell – one that might run a bit too straight for a beach break, but this is a reef, so it could handle it better. Problem is, the wind is crankin’ moderate onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, and it’s only gettin’ a score of 1 out of 10. Not worth the fight.
The pattern after that is just more of the same: onshore north winds, messy conditions, and swell that’s either too small or blown out. We do see a few bigger pulses around 6ft on the 24th and again on the 6th of September, but every single session through the entire period is marked as ‘poor surf conditions.’ The wind never lets up. It’s a northerly breeze almost every day, and on some mornings it’s even cross-onshore and lumpy.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Sunday the 6th of September has the biggest swell of the run at 6ft out of the N, with a combined energy of (964). But the cross-onshore wind from the NNE at 19 mph will tear that apart. For a reef break that’s exposed to the north, this just isn’t our window.
In short: leave the board at home. Not a single standout session. The best call is to wait for the pattern to shift. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid washout.
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.
