The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window, and honestly, there’s not a single day that gets the green light. It’s a total blank run for Izquierda.
The main issue is the wind. It’s coming hard out of the north and northeast for the entire first week, and that’s just wrecking any chance of clean waves. You’ll see some swell in the water, around 4 to 5 feet, but it’s short-period windswell, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, and that north wind is just blowing it all to pieces. The wave comment says it all – “poor surf conditions” from the 8th all the way through to the 23rd.
The first week is a write-off. From Saturday the 8th through to Friday the 14th, the wind is a constant 15 to 19 mph, onshore, and the energy in the water is weak to moderate, with combined energy values in the low to mid 200s. There’s nothing to get excited about. It’s just messy, bumpy, and unrideable.
There’s a slight dip in the wind on the 17th and 18th, dropping to 9 mph, but by then the swell has backed off to around 3 to 4 feet and the wind starts going cross-onshore. It’s still not clean. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the only thing that’s warm is the water.
The following week is no better. The swell stays small, barely pushing 4 feet, and the wind just keeps shifting around, never giving us that clean, offshore angle we need. There’s a slight bump in energy on the 22nd, with combined energy hitting 273, but it’s still short-period and the wind is cross-onshore again. It’s just not going to happen.
This is one of those stretches where the consistency is all there, but the quality is completely absent. It’s a classic case of the forecast looking like it might deliver, but the wind just kills it every single time. Don’t bother waxing up just yet. Keep an eye on it, but this one’s a dud. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
