The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for this stretch. We’re looking at a pretty quiet picture overall for the next couple of weeks, so we’ll need to be patient. There’s a decent run of small-to-medium swell but the wind is going to be the main villain for most of it, keeping things pretty messy. The real standout window looks like it’s further out, so we’ll get to that.
Right off the bat, the immediate days are a write-off. From the start of the period through to about the 11th, it’s just onshore wind after onshore wind. Swell heights are trying to build, getting up to 6 ft by the 12th, but with a fresh breeze straight on it, the wave quality is shot. Combined energy is moderate, in the 300-542 range, but that energy is wasted on messy, blown-out lines. It’s not surfable, plain and simple.
Then we hit a small window around Sunday the 13th morning. The swell drops back to 4 ft from the north with a short 8-second period, but the wind goes super light. We’re talking a slight air, almost glassy cross-onshore. Combined energy sits at 207, which is weak, and the file calls it marginal due to tide, but that light wind makes it the first real chance for a surf. It won’t be pumping, but it’ll be clean. Not a standout, just a glimmer of hope.
Monday the 14th morning is similar—small 3 ft swell from the NNW with a nice long 13-second period. That’s a nice little groundswell pulse. The wind is light and cross-onshore again. Combined energy is 320, moderate. Again, questionable tide conditions, but with that long period and light breeze, it could be worth a paddle at Izquierda if you catch the tide right. It’s not perfect, but it's the pick of the early days.
After that, the wind picks up again and the swell drops off, so we’re looking at a stretch of small, onshore junk from the 15th through to the 21st. Waves between 1 ft and 3 ft, light-to-moderate breeze, mostly onshore. Not much to get excited about.
Now, here’s the real standout. We’ve got a serious event brewing for Tuesday the 22nd. Swell heights climb to 4 ft to 4 ft from the NNW, but the period is a very long 15 to 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with serious energy—combined energy jumps to 710 on the Tuesday morning and 746 in the afternoon. These are solid, strong wave energy values. The catch? The wind is still a moderate to fresh breeze onshore. It’s going to be raw and lumpy. That long period at a beach break setup can make the waves break too straight, so Izquierda as a reef break might actually handle it better than a beach. This isn’t for beginners; 4 ft of that kind of energy will push you around, and it’s really only for experienced surfers who don’t mind a battle with the chop. It’s the most notable pulse of the whole forecast, but it comes with a warning—it won’t be clean.
Wednesday the 23rd sees similar energy (714) with a 5 ft swell and a 14-second period, but again fresh onshore wind from the north. It’s powerful, but messy.
Overall, if you’re a paddle surfer, the best bets are the small, clean windows on Sunday 13th and Monday 14th mornings. For the big-day crew, the 22nd and 23rd have the power but you’ll be fighting the wind. This is the kind of setup that would be a lot more fun for a kite, honestly, than trying to surf onshore slop at that size and period.
For water temps, at Izquierda, the anomaly is listed as a dash, so it’s about average for the time of year—nothing crazy to report there.
Hang in there, the long-range window has some real grunt, but don’t expect perfection. Forecasts can always turn for the better, too.
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.
