The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak for a proper surf session. The whole sixteen-day window is a struggle. The wind just won’t play ball. It’s hammering in from the north-northeast and north almost constantly, which is straight onshore for this spot, and that’s a killer for any kind of shape. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 75°F, but that’s little comfort when the waves are junk.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on Sunday, August 23rd, with a 4ft swell from the NNW carrying a groundswell period of 14 seconds. The combined energy hits 806 (moderate) for the afternoon, but that strong north-northwest wind – straight onshore – ruins any chance of a decent wave. It’s just messy.
Monday the 24th has a little more size, with 6ft from the NNW and a solid 12-second period. The energy is strong at 925. But again, the wind is a cross-onshore breeze and the comment says it’s “gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy.” That’s not surfable.
The biggest swell of the run shows up on Saturday, August 29th, with a 7ft north swell and a 10-second period. Combined energy is a strong 948. But yet again, the wind is a fresh breeze straight onshore from the north-northeast. For a break this exposed, with the wind howling right into it, it’ll be a washing machine. Unless you’re on a kite, there’s nothing here for a paddle surfer. The same goes for the 6ft pulse on Friday the 28th – that’s strong cross-onshore and messy.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session across the whole period. Every single forecast row has the same story: onshore wind and poor conditions. The only difference is the size of the onshore mess. If you’ve got a kite, the 22nd of August might be worth a look with a moderate breeze, but for a surfboard? Nothing. It’s a long, blank run, and given the persistent northerly winds, that’s just the pattern for Izquierda right now.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d give it a miss.
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.

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.
