The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, givin' it to you straight in feet and miles per hour.
The next 16 days at Izquierda are a total bust. Not a single session is worth paddling out for. It's a long, painful stretch of poor surf conditions.
We kick off Saturday, September 5th, with tiny, weak windswell. Swell height is only 3ft out of the north, with a short 5-second period, and the wind is blowin' onshore at 12 mph from the north. The wave energy is low, at 76 (76). Saturday afternoon is the same story, energy climbs to 103 (103), but it's still junk. Sunday the 6th gives us 4ft north swell, 6-second period, and onshore wind from the NNE at 16 mph. Energy hits 220 (220) by afternoon, but it's all messy.
Monday the 7th sees a shift to a NNW groundswell with a 12-second period, which sounds promising. But the swell is only 2ft, and the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, choppin' it all up. The energy is 331 (331). This is the best of the week, but it's still not worth it. Water temp is about average for the season.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a broken record. Onshore wind from the north or NNE, 12-16 mph, and swell heights bouncing between 2ft and 4ft, periods mostly short, 6-8 seconds. Energy fluctuates but never gets clean. From Tuesday the 8th onward, it's a relentless string of onshore and cross-onshore wind, with a few lighter wind days on Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, but the swell is tiny (2ft-3ft, 7-8 seconds). Energy drops to as low as 53 (53) by Friday the 18th.
There's a faint glimmer way out there. Saturday, September 19th, shows a 1ft NNW swell with a super long 16-second period in the morning. Energy is 111 (111). Sunday the 20th has a 2ft NNW swell with a 12-second period and energy of 223 (223). But the wind is still onshore from the NNW at 16 mph. It's a tease, but too far out to trust.
This is a dead period for surf. If you're into kite surfing, the steady onshore wind and small chop might be your thing, but for paddle surfing, there's nothing. The area just goes quiet sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd hang the board up.
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.
