The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’m going to be straight with you—the next couple of weeks at Izquierda are looking pretty grim. This is a reef setup that’s consistent and exposed to the northwest, but it’s getting hammered by a near-constant onshore flow that’s just wrecking everything. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 75°F, but that’s about the only good news.
The pattern starts off with some small, weak swell on Thursday, August 27th. We've got a 3ft north swell with a short, gutless 7-second period and combined energy of just 74—that’s weak. A 19 mph cross-onshore wind from the north-northeast has it all lumpy and poor. Not even worth a look. Friday, the 28th, sees the swell bump up to 5ft in the morning, with the energy climbing to a moderate 213, but that onshore wind is still howling at 22 mph. By the afternoon it’s 6ft and 423 energy, but it’s onshore and messy. This continues right through the weekend and into next week. On Saturday, August 29th, we get a 6ft north swell with a period stretching to 11 seconds, energy hits 929—there’s some proper grunt in the water—but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore breeze. It’s just not going to clean up. Sunday the 30th holds at 5ft with 9-second period and 383 energy, but same story: onshore wind.
And that’s the whole deal. The onshore flow from the north-northeast doesn’t let up. For days on end, we’re looking at small to medium swell with either cross-onshore or onshore wind. There’s a brief flicker of hope on Friday, September 4th, when the wind drops to a light 6 mph from the north-northwest, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell is only 4ft with 8-second period and 208 energy. The model calls it “marginal” at best. After that, it fades back into poor conditions with smaller swell dropping to 3ft by the 6th. The last week of the forecast is just more of the same: small, weak north-northwest swell with moderate onshore wind and a period that barely hits 7 seconds. There’s a brief moment on Monday, September 7th, where we see a 2ft swell from the NNW with a 12-second period (176 energy), but it’s onshore and tiny—more of a cleanup set for the rocks than anything rideable.
Honestly, there isn’t one day in this whole 16-day stretch that I’d get excited about. The swell is either too small, too short-period, too wind-affected, or a combination of all three. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe that Friday the 4th morning offers the least worst option, but don’t expect much. For anyone else, I’d say give it a miss and wait for the next change. With the consistent onshore wind, this setup might actually look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
