The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window, but honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for the most part, so keep your expectations in check.
The overall pattern is very small, and there’s a long gap with no real action. From now through the 24th of August, the surf is basically flat. You’ll be looking at tiny dribbles of 0.7 ft to 2 ft swell from the NW and NNW, with weak wave energy readings mostly in the teens or lower. For example, Saturday the 15th morning has a mere 1 ft NW swell at 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a low 31. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
The real story here is a sudden spike in size on Thursday the 27th of August. That morning, La Izquierda (Guadeloupe) sees a raw 4 ft NE swell with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 122 – that’s moderate energy. The afternoon builds even more: 5 ft NE swell, 7 seconds, energy hitting 182. The wind is a gentle cross-off, so the waves will be clean. This is a short-period swell, so it won’t have that long, lined-up groundswell feel, more like a punchy, steeper wave. It’s not huge, but in this otherwise flat spell, it’s the standout. It’s surfable but not for beginners – that 5 ft size is getting into the “too big for beginners” territory.
The next day, Friday the 28th, has a bit of leftover energy. The morning is glassy but tiny again. The afternoon shows a 4 ft NE swell, 8 seconds, with energy at 189, and the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 15 km/h. That’s clean, offshore conditions on a decent little bump, so it’s worth a look.
Overall, this is a long, quiet period with one or two days of promise right at the end of the month. Don’t get too excited about the early stuff – it’s a flat spell. The 27th and 28th of August are your best bets, but being a week and a half out, keep an eye on the forecasts.
Stay patient, and I’ll see you in the water if that NE swell shows up.
Rusty.

Information about the La Izquierda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Izquierda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Izquierda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La 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 (La 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 La 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.
La Izquierda is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Adeje. If you plan a holiday in Tenerife, look for hotels and other accommodation in Adeje. Adeje has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
