The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Izquierda over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. For the first two weeks of this forecast, the surf is just not happening. From Thursday the 27th of August right through to the 11th of September, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The wind is relentless, mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the NNE and N, and it’s almost always a fresh breeze, which is gonna chop everything up. Swell heights get up to 6 ft on the 29th of August, but the wind is on it or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is moderate (931), but it’s just messy. The swell direction is from the N, which is the optimum for Izquierda, but with the wind howling in the same direction, it’s no good. The period is short, around 5 to 11 seconds, so not much power or shape either.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The only glimmer of hope comes on the 9th of September, Wednesday morning. We get a light breeze from the N, mostly onshore, with a 3 ft swell from the NNW, period of 13 seconds (long period groundswell), and the wave energy is strong (513). It’s rated as marginal, not great, but it’s the best we’ll see. The period is long, so it’ll be a bit more powerful and have longer lulls between sets. That longer period is best at a reef like Izquierda, but it might break a bit straight if the swell angle is too north. Still, with light winds, it’s the only time you might get a few clean ones. For the rest of the time, it’s a blank run. If you’re a kite surfer, the strong winds and choppy conditions might be more interesting than paddle surfing.

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.
