The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, to be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking like a write-off. We’ve got a solid block of poor surf conditions stretching from now all the way to mid-month. From Wednesday the 2nd through until the 13th of September, it’s a real struggle at Izquierda. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, coming out of the north, and it’s just messing up whatever small swell is around. Swell heights hover around 3ft to 5ft, but with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds, it’s weak and choppy. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, hitting 382 in the middle of the first week, but the wind is just too strong, 30 km/h, to make anything rideable. Don’t bother with the board for a while.
The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Now, there is one real glimmer of hope, and it’s a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed. On Monday the 14th of September, we finally get a window of decent conditions. Monday morning is looking promising at Izquierda. We’ve got a light southwesterly breeze that’s actually blowing cross-offshore, which means clean, glassy lines. The swell will be small, only 3ft, but it’s coming from the NNW with a period of 13 seconds – that’s groundswell and it’ll have some proper shape. The combined swell energy is strong at 344, so there’s real push behind it. This is the standout in the whole outlook, but it’s brief. The wind shifts by the afternoon, and it’s back to poor conditions after that.
After that one good morning, the rest of the second week is a letdown. The 15th and 16th of September have poor onshore winds again, and while the swell period gets very long, hitting 17 seconds on the 16th, the combined energy is massive at 598 – that’s strong to very strong – but with cross-onshore wind and a lumpy surface, it’s a messy, dangerous beast for experts only. Don't kid yourself, that morning on the 14th is your only real shot at something clean.
So, to sum it up: the next week and a half is a total bust. The one saving grace is that morning on Monday the 14th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The rest is dust.
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.
