The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast period is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window to look at, but the honest truth is the whole stretch is plagued by poor surf conditions. Right from the start on Friday the 28th of August, right through to the 10th of September, it’s a write-off. A long, painful gap of nearly two weeks with no real hope. Even then, the surf that shows up late in the game is still just poor.
The only break in the mix is Izquierda, a consistent reef setup that ideally wants swell from the NW. The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
For the first week, the story is all about strong, persistent onshore winds from the north and northeast, hammering the place at 15 to 22 mph. That’s just ugly. We get a pulse of swell on the 29th – 6 ft from the north with an 11-second period and a combined energy reading of 929. But with those terrible cross-onshore and onshore winds, it’s a complete mess. Don’t even think about it.
Things go flat and the wind eventually backs off a little toward the end of the first week and into the second, but we’re looking at tiny, weak swell. By the 7th of September, we’re down to 1 ft and barely any energy (95). It’s dead.
Finally, on the 11th of September the swell tries to wake up again. We see the size climb back to 5 ft to 5 ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy building from 322 to 448. The wind is still onshore from the north at 15-16 mph, so the surf quality is still rated as poor. It’s just not happening.
The bottom line: there is no standout. There is no good session to point you toward. This is one of those blank runs where you’re better off waxing your board for next week and hoping the patterns shift.
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.
