The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch ahead is a tough one. We’re lookin’ at a solid 16-day window, and honestly, the surf gods are not smiling on us. Let’s break it down.
From Wednesday the 19th of August all the way through to Thursday the 3rd of September, every single session at Izquierda is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, quiet stretch. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your toes off while you stare at the ocean.
The swell is there, but it’s just not working. We’re seeing north-northwest swells bumping in at 2 ft to 6 ft, with short periods mostly between 7 and 10 seconds. The combined energy builds from a weak 132 (moderate energy) up to 493 (strong energy) by the 28th of August, but it’s all wind-affected. The wind is mostly onshore from the north or north-northeast, blowing 9 to 22 mph – that’s a fresh breeze most days, creating choppy, lumpy conditions. Even when the wind swings cross-on, it’s a messy onshore texture at a reef break. The optimum swell direction for Izquierda is NW, and we do get some NW swell, but the period is too short and the wind is all wrong.
The best of the worst might be the 28th of August (Friday) morning, with a 6 ft north swell and 8-second period, but the energy is strong (493) and the wind is onshore from the north-northeast at 19 mph. Not clean, not glassy, just a raw, blown-out mess. There’s no standout here – no day with light, offshore, or glassy winds to offer any kind of quality. The break is a reef, consistent, and intermediate-level, but it’s not breaking cleanly at all.
Forget about beginners – anything over 5 ft is too much, and the crowd situation is “sometimes” crowded, but nobody’s gonna be out there in this slop. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with the consistent onshore wind and building swell.
Hang in there, mates. Sometimes it’s just a blank run, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the boards in the car.
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.
