La Izquierda is a surf spot known for its left-hand waves, located in a region that's pretty good for consistent swells. It’s best to hit this place during lower tides for the best ride. If you’re chasing waves in the NW swells, you’ll find this spot has a nice push along with some barrel sections. Just keep in mind that it tends to get pretty windy, which can mess with your ride.
This spot works well with swells coming from the North and East, handling sizes up to around 3ft (about 1 meter). La Izquierda breaks over an uneven reef, which can be a bit tricky. The waves here are definitely more suited for experts. The inside section is somewhat easier, but most of the action is out at the peak, where even intermediates might find themselves challenged. The best wind direction to aim for is from the South, and you can catch decent rides during low, mid, and high tides.
When you plan your surf trip to La Izquierda, just remember that the crowd can get pretty big, especially when the conditions are right. This spot is not a beginner-friendly place, so if you’re just starting out, you might want to look for other options. It's definitely a place to keep in mind if you’ve got the skills to handle it.
