The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming up for Izquierda.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at a long stretch of onshore winds, mostly from the north, and the swell is just not cooperating. The water's sitting at a touch warmer than normal, about 75°F, but that's about the only good news. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the 100-300 range, and with those short, wind-affected periods, it's just messy. It's not until the morning of Saturday the 14th that we finally see a little window of something worth paddling out for.
That morning, the 14th of September, is the real standout. The wind goes glassy, which is a massive positive. We've got a 3 ft groundswell from the NNW with a very long period of 14 seconds. That's real energy, and with the combined energy sitting at 304 (moderate), it'll have some push. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. The only thing is, with that long period, it might be a little too straight for a beach break, but for a reef like Izquierda, that's ideal. It's not huge, but it's the cleanest we'll see.
Before that, the 13th of September shows a slight improvement, but it's still marginal with a cross-shore breeze. The best session is hands down that Monday morning glass-off.
After that, the wind turns back onshore, and the swell drops off. The 16th onwards sees very small waves, with combined energy dropping below 100. It's a stretch of poor conditions. The 21st of September has a little more swell, but the wind is back onshore, so it's not a goer.
So, to sum it up: the whole 16-day window is a tough one, with a long gap of poor conditions. The only real opportunity is the morning of the 14th of September. Not a classic run, but sometimes that's how it goes.
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.
