The Lowdown

Right then, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Izquierda.

Overall, this is a grim outlook. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but honestly, I'd be finding something else to do for the bulk of it. The problem isn't a lack of swell; it's the wind. That persistent onshore flow from the north-northeast is going to make a mess of things for days on end. There are no standout sessions at all. This is a real stretch of poor conditions.

Looking at the first few days, from Friday the 21st of August right through the weekend, we're looking at a northerly wind howling at 12 to 16 mph, blowing straight onshore. The swell is small, around 3 to 4 ft from the north with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds. The wave energy is weak to moderate, (146 to 206 range). It's just not worth paddling out for.

We roll into the start of the following week, Monday the 24th of August, and things get a little more interesting in terms of size, but not quality. Monday morning has a 5 ft swell from the NNW with a 12-second period, giving it moderate energy (730). The wind is still onshore though, a gentle breeze of 9 mph, which keeps it from being totally shredded, but it's still onshore. The forecast calls it "marginal", and I'd agree. It's a maybe, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The rest of that week and into the next is a write-off. Winds stay howling from the NNE and N, 15 to 22 mph, swinging cross-onshore or staying on. The swell builds from the 28th of August onwards, hitting 6 ft to 7 ft from the north-northeast, and the wave energy ramps up to strong levels (1003 on the 29th of August morning). But with that strong to fresh breeze making it choppy and lumpy, it's going to be a washing machine. For a reef break like Izquierda, that onshore/cross-onshore wind is pure misery. This kind of wind and swell setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.

That pattern holds through to the end of the forecast. We get pulses of swell, like on the 4th and 5th of September with 5 ft to 6 ft from the north at 8 seconds, but the wind just never lets up. It's a constant NNE breeze at 22 mph.

So, the bottom line: there are zero recommendations in this whole 16-day window. It's a rare and disappointing blank run for an area that can be consistent. Don't plan your week around it. The forecasts could change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.

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.
