The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Well, I’ve been staring at the charts for the next 16 days here, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. The only break on the radar is Izquierda, a reef setup that usually fires when the swell comes from the northwest. The problem is, the wind is your enemy. For the entire window, it’s hammering from the north and northeast, onshore or cross-onshore, with speeds from 16 mph right up to 25 mph. That’s straight-up garbage for a reef that needs clean conditions. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it with all that wind in your face.
We start with nothing. The first week is a total write-off. From Thursday the 20th all the way through Sunday the 23rd, we’re looking at "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (174 down to 138), and the swell is short-period, onshore mush. You’re better off staying home.
Monday the 24th shows a little flicker of hope. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NNW, and the energy jumps to 817 (moderate) but the wind is still onshore 16 mph. It’s a “marginal surf forecast” – a 1 out of 10. It’s the closest thing to a standout, but it’s a sad one. The period is 12 seconds, which is decent, but with that onshore wind, it’ll be messy.
The rest of the week is more of the same: poor conditions, howling northerly winds, and lumpy, chopped-up surf. By Saturday the 29th, the swell actually gets bigger – 7 ft from the north with a 12-second period and a massive 1347 energy reading. That’s some serious power, but the wind is still onshore 22 mph. For a reef break, that’s a washing machine. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s no fun. It’s more of a kite-surfing wind farm than a surf spot.
The final week from August 31st to September 4th is more of the same: onshore and cross-onshore winds, no clean surf. The swell sticks around 4 ft to 6 ft, but the quality is shot. There’s nothing here. This is a 16-day blank. When a spot is this exposed and the wind won’t let up, you just have to wait for the next pattern change. Forecasts can turn, but right now, it’s grim.
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.
