Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Ilbaritz – Bora Bora over the next couple of weeks. No need to sugar-coat it – the start is quiet.
The first few days are small and not much to write home about. Monday the 6th of July has a 0.6m north-west swell, but it’s weak (64). The morning is clean with a light easterly, so you could get a few soft waves, but the afternoon goes cross-shore and it’s not great. Tuesday and Wednesday are worse – the swell drops, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. Not worth your time.
Thursday the 9th stays small and messy. Friday the 10th of July is the first bright spot – glassy conditions in the morning with a 0.6m north-west swell. It’s small, but it’s clean, and the energy is still light (58). Saturday the 11th of July has another glassy morning, with a 0.7m swell and a bit more energy (80). If you want to stretch your legs, those two mornings are the pick of the first week.
After that, it goes quiet again until the end of the second week. The swell tries to get going around Monday the 13th with 1.0m, but it’s onshore and the period is a short 6 seconds – choppy and weak. Not worth it.
The only real standout is right at the end. Tuesday the 21st of July. The swell hits 1.1m from the north-west, and the energy jumps to 203 – that’s the most we’ve seen. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a wind swell, but there’s actual power behind it. The wind is onshore from the west, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the biggest and most energetic swell of the whole 16 days. It’s a long way out, so it’s a bit of a gamble, but it’s the one to watch.
So, bottom line – the first week is mostly a dud with a couple of clean, tiny windows. The second week is poor until the 21st of July, which has some real hope. Hang tight.
Rusty.
