The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’re in for a pretty quiet stretch at Izquierda. To be honest, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf – we’re stuck with onshore winds from the north just about every day, and the swell’s either small, short-period chop or clean but anemic. The first couple of weeks are a near-total blank, with the only flicker of life showing up way down the line.
The water’s sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a little odd, but not unheard of.
From Sunday the 6th right through to Monday the 21st September, there isn’t a single morning or afternoon that offers anything worth paddling out for. Scores are all zeros or a 1 on the 14th. That 14th of September Monday afternoon is the closest thing to a highlight, with a marginal 2ft swell from the NNW at a long 12-13 second period – that’s a groundswell, but with light cross-onshore breezes (6 mph) it’s still only just on the edge of being surfable. The combined wave energy is moderate at 265, so there’s some push, but the cross-onshore wind and small size keep it from being a go.
Before that, we’ve got solid onshore winds – fresh breezes from the north and NNE at 12-19 mph – chopping up the weak, short-period swells. The swell heights barely touch 5ft on the 11th, but with a period of 7 seconds and onshore wind, it’s just messy. Combined energy peaks around 368 on the 7th afternoon – moderate energy, but totally ruined by the wind.
From the 16th onward, the swell drops off into the 1ft to 2ft range, with very weak combined energy (51 to 194) and still those northerly winds. A few sessions with glassy or offshore wind? Not a sniff.
If you’re a kitesurfer, this setup might be interesting – the onshore wind and small but constant waves could work, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long wait. The only real standout is that Monday afternoon on the 14th: 2ft, long-period NNW groundswell (13 seconds), light cross-onshore breeze – at a reef like Izquierda, those longer-period swells can wrap in nicely, but the size is tiny. It’s the best of a bad lot, and even then, it’s marginal. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change, but right now it’s a dry spell.

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.
